Audience Says

Blood Red Sky has a great idea for a horror movie, even if it's quite a bit slower than its cool setup might suggest.

The sense of surprise or playfulness that you would think is inherent in a 'Bats on a Plane' concept just isn't here.

Rated: 1.5/4

San Jose Mercury News

Director/co-writer Peter Thorwarth splatters the screen with gore while tossing in surprises, delirious preposterousness and even a few touching moments. It's grand fun.

Rated: 3/4

It's an intriguing dilemma - one that a better film would have done more to contrast against the hijackers' craven inhumanity - but "Blood Red Sky" fails to coagulate that conflict into action.

Rated: C-

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Blood Red Sky is itself a fantastic premise that starts off really well but sadly hits too many obstacles along the way to make a great story.

Rated: 6.5/10

Film Cred

It may draw from obvious influences, but it is its own movie, standing alone as a suspenseful, moving, and surprising film from start to finish.

Blood Red Sky is a victim of its own pacing but it still delivers everything you're looking for in a good vampire movie (not to mention a good heist movie)

Rated: 6/10

Sinceramente, sentí la película bastante carente de sentido. Es decir, los protagonistas hacían acciones de manera confusa, generando situaciones ridículas

Una película que sorprende Aunque su inicio puede parecer algo lento, esta película se transforma en una experiencia entretenida para los amantes del terror. Con una intrigante mezcla de suspenso y vampiros, ofrece una propuesta inusual que logra mantener al espectador enganchado. Ideal para una tarde relajada.

"Blood Red Sky" is an engaging and original take on the horror genre that keeps viewers guessing until the end. It’s a must-watch for fans of horror and action alike, providing a fresh spin on familiar tropes.

I hate films that start with the ending because the start is boring, the timeline jumps around quite a lot throughout and I get that it’s needed to reveal the story more dramatically but here it doesn’t fit the story and feels disjointed. It reminded me a lot of From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) but without the great characters and pacing. Virtually the whole film takes place on an aeroplane and they don’t have the story or characters to support this. It is often slow. The film is well made but that just isn’t enough when you don’t have a concept that can support the production. Forgettable and ultimately not really worth watching but not terrible.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
