One of the biggest problems is the under-lit direction throws a dim weighted blanket over the thrills. terrorists.' The mother/son thing can be used to elevate that but it shouldn't be the main focus.

The Elias/Nadja connection is designed to add heart, and it does that at times-Baumeister and Koch have a believable connection-but it feels like it’s at the expense of what this movie needed to be more than anything: dumb fun. We're here for 'vampire vs. It’s impossible to get invested in any of it, in part because the POV is mostly that of Elias, stunned at the insanity happening around him as he worries most of all about the fate of his mom. Even as it becomes less and less logically sound, it never finds its spark or sense of tension.

And yet even then it feels like its teeth aren’t sharp enough. This great idea is handled in stunningly routine fashion in “Blood Red Sky.” The sense of surprise or playfulness that you would think is inherent in a “Bats on a Plane” concept just isn’t here as “Blood Red Sky” only comes to life in bloody spurts after Nadja allows herself to go full vamp. She takes a drug to manage her “condition,” but the violence aboard the plane springs her to life, and it’s not long before she’s sucking the plasma of the men intent on murdering a plane full of passengers. “Blood Red Sky” is the story of a single mother who happened to have been bit by a creature of the night years earlier. Imagine this story told from the POV of the loosely-defined terrorists that then shifts to Nadja when the chaos agents realize that one of the passengers is actually a vampire. “Blood Red Sky” should be a film that takes a sharp turn at maybe the halfway mark or possibly even later when the “bad guys” realize there’s something they didn’t plan for on the plane. She clearly hides a secret but Thorwarth is depressingly uninterested in holding it for long. Nadja ( Peri Baumeister) is traveling across the Atlantic with her son Elias ( Carl Anton Koch) when it’s hijacked by a group of terrorists intent on taking it down.
