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

Vampires on a plane.

Kudos for the imagination, but let's just say the creators neglected how to balance the action movie with the storyline that's trying to make a dramatic effect with the mother protecting her child. Only in this case theVampires on a plane.

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.… Expand

Nada del otro mundo, cosas que se han visto en películas como Train to Busan, sin embargo, bastante entretenida.

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 !… Expand

It's an interesting premise and it makes for an OK B-grade horror movie. It's a little over-indulgent with the gore and blood. It's also a bit long and overstays its welcome; the editing could've been tighter and the film shortened to betterIt's an interesting premise and it makes for an OK B-grade horror movie. It's a little over-indulgent with the gore and blood. It's also a bit long and overstays its welcome; the editing could've been tighter and the film shortened to better effect. I felt a little desensitized to all the gore and violence as the film went on, and I just wanted it to end.… 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
