This movie is full of suspense, horror, thrill action, twist, and turns. I enjoyed my 2 hours completely. The internal plots are so heart-touching. A mother who is fighting her evil for the sake of her kid is such a clever and impressive point added in this movie. The character development is great, the acting is too good, the makeup of vampires is excellent and the all-over cinematography is great. Expand

An adrenalin rush with a humanized vampire reminiscent of the tragic kind introduced in the Swedish "Let Me In." Only this one is a grizzly bear protecting her young and an uber air marshall aboard a hijacked airliner. Tautly suspensefulAn adrenalin rush with a humanized vampire reminiscent of the tragic kind introduced in the Swedish "Let Me In." Only this one is a grizzly bear protecting her young and an uber air marshall aboard a hijacked airliner. Tautly suspenseful even with lengthy flashbacks that fill in the story. Moments of high suspense as we root for an anti-hero who is also trying to rein in her own bloodthirsty instincts. Expand

Created an account just for this Gem, I’ve never rated a movie before, but these Karen reviews got me feeling like I have to defend what’s overlooked...

Ps: Watched with Subtitles and English Dubbed

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (In honor of the you tube "pitch" guy from Screen Rant) Hey, do you remember that Jodie Foster movie with her on a plane? Vaguely. How about the one with Rachel McAdams and Gillian Murphy? Oh yeah the Wes Craven one, I kinda liked that one. Why do you ask? Well what if we made her character, wait for it...a vampire? Okayy? Blood Red Sky begins with the time honored movie tradition of beginning the movie at end, then taking us back to the events that got us to that point. A highjacked plane lands at an airstrip surrounded by police and out emerges from the cargo hold a young boy. Cue the backtrack. The boy and his mother, who appears to be suffering from cancer, board a trans Atlantic flight, that is soon taken over by terrorists. The mother is shot, and presumably killed, by a sadistic member of the terrorists (guess who becomes the main antagonist of the group..). Much to everyone's shock, she ends up much alive, or non-alive. So it's Air Force One, but instead of the president running around the bowels of the plane trying to foil terrorists, it's a vampire. It's such a ridiculous premise that you think it'll be some dumb, campy fun. The problem is that the tone is so earnest, it sucks (ha ha) the fun out of it. Do we need extended flashbacks detailing her becoming a vampire? The lead actress does well and the vampire makeup is very feral and animalistic. Her son has the most annoying performance since Sean Connery' s son in Outland. It's not bad. I'd say a B minus for a B movie. Expand

A film with decent acting, let down by its lack of direction, plot contrivance and complete tonal consistency.

The movie has no idea of what it wants to be and feels like three movies fused into one more then anything else.

Only in this case the mother is a vampire.

I saw an overlong but thrilling story that failed to connect or accommodate its horror twist over the other motivations of the plot and, completely avoiding wanting to save surprises for viewers, delivers everything quickly and automatically, building a climax that looks more like Train to Busan than The Strain.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The beginning is exciting. The acting from everybody except the protagonist women Nadja is bad to horrible. Lines come off very unnatural. When the action starts, the characters start to act dumb. One moment, the character is unnaturally strong, but when the plot requires it, she becomes unnaturally weak. The whole movie is a mess and that kid is infuriatingly dumb. Expand

Other comments have summed this movie up nicely. It's a **** show. It had a promising beginning, as its concept (the hijackers, not the vampires) is actually pretty cool. Then the woman turned into a **** vampire and it kind of lost me. ToOther comments have summed this movie up nicely. It's a **** show.

To top it all off, the vampire lady then starts murdering everyone as the hijackers were probably thinking the same thing we were while watching this movie. "???????? what ??????????"
Honestly even including the vampires the concept was half decent, they just had to then show a solid 40 minutes of murder.

Un traitement globalement plus réaliste que d’habitude du mythe vampirique même si on a déjà vu ça ailleurs (notamment dans Thirst…) mais l’originalité réside ici dans le détournement de l’avion et la présence du gamin qui aide grandement saUn traitement globalement plus réaliste que d’habitude du mythe vampirique même si on a déjà vu ça ailleurs (notamment dans Thirst…) mais l’originalité réside ici dans le détournement de l’avion et la présence du gamin qui aide grandement sa maman… à ne pas s’énerver ou céder à la tentation…!

Cela étant, on peut s’étonner que certains vampires ou disons, qu’un peu trop de vampires ressemblent plus à des zombis enragés (pléonasme) qu’à des vampires supérieurs (sans compter le délai entre la morsure et… la transformation !) ce qui laisse dubitatif à tout le moins…

Enfin… la fin ne m’a pas vraiment plu, ce qui se ressent logiquement sur la note finale. Notons en outre que la réalisation est de temps en temps très malmenée avec du secouage de caméra (à l’épaule !) et un montage un peu trop nerveux… mais rien de trop alarmant, on a vu (bien) pire.

En tout cas, l’actrice principale est très convaincante, les effets de bonne facture et le rythme est excellent : on ne voit pas le temps passer sur ces deux heures entières ! et on salue tout de même -malgré les défauts signalés- l’originalité de ces vampires dans l’avion !

The movie poster and caption peaked my interest, but the 2 hour runtimeHey Streamers out there! It has been a busy few weeks, but that doesn't mean the streaming stops. This week we noticed the release of Blood Red Sky on July 23, 2021. The movie poster and caption peaked my interest, but the 2 hour runtime frightened me. I mean can I really pull myself away from the Olympics 2020 for a whole two hours? Well, I managed to do so and let's see how it turned out.

Blood Red Sky is about a woman with a mysterious illness forced to protect her son when terrorists attempt to hijack their flight to America. I know you're saying... what illness does this poor, loving mom have? Well, that's for me to know and you to find out when you watch; but, whatever she has, I don't want. This movie is a mash up of a bunch of storylines we all enjoy. Hijacked planes, people fighting bad guys, and horror! Slightly creative but ultimately feels like a longer version of World War Z mixed with District 9 and 30 Days of Night scenes. It's a basic premise that takes a really long time to develop. And yet I know that I'm tired of these Monkey Loving terrorists on this Mother Fighting plane! *Samuel L. Voice* I will say the brutality of the terrorists was a little fun because a couple are familiar faces from other movies and shows. I'm looking at you Heat Wave/Mick Rory and Chidi Ajufo. Realistically, the actors do a good job of simultaneously making us hate the terrorists but also like them all at once. Otherwise, there's not much to the acting in this film but Carl Koch, as Elias, and Kais Setti, as Farid, do a pretty good job for their roles. Both are able to portray the severity, fear, panic, and empathy that the moment needs. I know that's confusing and intriguing at the same time.

Needless to say, Blood Red Sky never needed to be made but I'm surprised that I'm glad it was. Honestly, I might have been a little mad if I'd paid to see this in the theater but for free, I'm pleasantly surprised. If you love a good vampire chase movie, then you'll enjoy this flick. Blood Red Sky keeps it interesting and full of anxiety throughout the movie, even though the storyline falls off hard midway through and the movie drags on for too long. If you're into horror flicks and don't mind the façade of a heist flick, I say turn to Netflix and check this one out with a bowl of popcorn. It's not must see TV but it won't let you down in a jam.

My biggest thought during this movie is "I wish they would push Elias out of the plane." I'm sure we were supposed to be touched by his love for his mother, but I found him immensely annoying and supremely stupid.

Turns out she has “blood issues,” which transforms her into a vampire (flashbacks explain the origins). The film entertains on several levels. The aircraft’s takeover is stressful. The vampire twist ramps up the action. The strife between her mother’s instincts and her bestial impulse adds a touching layer of drama. Even so, the tension stays taut, while the script keeps tossing in surprising turns. Pure popcorn fun with blood, violence and vampires. (German dubbed into English) Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starts with great promise and intrigue. And quickly devoles into bad decisions and poor pacing. When the main character is unveiled as a vampire (that twist is ruined by the films own poster and artwork) instead of tearing the hijackers to ribbons to protect her son she spends the entire movie flopping about the plane, moaning, whinging and generally doing the opposite to what she should be doing. Very disappointing. Expand

This movie is probably best watched without seeing the trailer or any synopsis. I had no idea of what to expect, and it was gripping until the end.

It's a very violent movie, but the acting was high quality, and there is a noble theme throughout which lifted the mood of the movie out of the pits. The plot is slick and kept me guessing.

My only qualms were a few plotholes. Overall, I recommend this film wholeheartedly - as long as you're not squeamish.
