Mixing a hijacking thriller with a vampire horror film isn’t common, and that’s where Blood Red Sky scores its first point. The premise is intriguing: a plane taken over by terrorists, a seemingly fragile mother hiding a dark secret, and a story that soon erupts into violence and blood. The film plays with suspense in its opening, but once the fangs come out it turns into a full-on display of action and gore. At times it feels exaggerated or even a bit silly, but it keeps the viewer hooked with its genre mash-up. If you’re looking for refined horror you might be disappointed; if you want chaotic fun, you’ll get it. Comparisons to Train to Busan are inevitable: the same confined space, the same tension, except here it’s vampires instead of zombies. It also recalls the frantic tone of Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain. It doesn’t reach the heights of either, but it navigates that middle ground fairly well. Special effects do their job, the bloody scenes don’t hold back, and the cast delivers the intensity the story requires. Narratively it could have been sharper—some stretches feel too long—but as entertainment it works. In the end, Blood Red Sky is an original twist within a genre that rarely dares to blend this much. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a wild, entertaining ride that shows there’s still room for fresh takes on vampire stories.
