Nadja’s relationship with her young son, Elias, not only adds to the movie’s suspense but gives audiences something in which to invest. What truly separates this action-horror movie from more generic fare is a surprisingly emotional core to its story. Some of Blood Red Sky’s detours from the ‘vampires vs hijackers’ storyline are necessary. Blood Red Sky Benefits From an Emotional Core To Its Story Fortunately, Blood Red Sky delivers with a bloody finale that never once descends into B-movie silliness. Nothing about the movie necessitates over two hours. Where Blood Red Sky runs into some problems is its unwieldy runtime and a middle act that loses momentum. It’s a simple twist that works hand-in-hand with the movie’s claustrophobic setting to squeeze more tension out of its final act. Specifically, bites almost instantly turn victims into more bloodsuckers. Here, vampire bites act quickly on victims similar to more recent zombie flicks. Thorwarth and co-writer Stefan Holtz take some liberties with vampire mythology. Much of Blood Red Sky’s fun comes from an inventive screenplay that isn’t afraid to toy with audience expectations. It’s a simple twist that works hand-in-hand with he movie’s claustrophobic setting to squeeze more tension out of its final act.

Once Blood Red Sky sets its story in motion Thorwarth ushers the action from cat-and-mouse stalking in the plane’s cargo hold to a mix of action and horror that is often brutally violent. Director Peter Thorwarth opts for a much more serious tone, wasting little time putting his hijackers next to Peri Baumeister’s vampire. Aside from these cursory similarities, however, Blood Red Sky is an entirely different beast. That is, the premise plays like a B-movie mashup of action and horror. On a surface level, hijackers fighting vampires on a plane sounds like From Dusk ‘Till Dawn meets Snakes on a Plane. Blood Red Sky a Bloody Good Mix of Action and Horror Fighting back, however, puts Nadja’s cure and humanity at risk as she slowly gives in to her bloodlust. Now with the flight diverted and passengers’ lives at risk, Nadja reveals her illness – she is a vampire. But hijackers on board take over the plane shortly after takeoff. On the other end of their trip is a potential cure to an illness afflicting Nadja.
