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.

1.5/4

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

3/4

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.

C-

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.

6.5/10

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.

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.

6/10

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)

Concept has a ton of potential. But falls very short with an incredibly slow first half, poor writing, really dumb moments where logic/ common sense and realism flies out the window. Not worth the time. Could be redone into a really good movie tho

Wow, just horrible. Couldn't root for anyone, even the boy who just wanted to save his mother.

Not your typical jump scares. This movie has great acting and some truly horrifying visuals. Great tension. Creepy

I've seen 1st time in my life a good vampire mother, who has controlled on herself by placing vaccines. At the begining movie was going well but at the end there are some flaws. One of the biggest flaws that a kid Elias is telling whole story to the doctors what happened in the plane and commander officer is also there then why doctor didn't listen to the kid to save the Fareed, why commander still think Fareed as terrorist. Anyway, new kind of vampire mother with new story. But one time watch

It reveals early and then it becomes an action movie it works for the most part . Would benefit from some character development however.
