Blood red sky nadja9/11/2023 What works best on Blood Red Sky is the direction by Peter Thorwarth, keeping the quarters tight, an often claustrophobic approach that gives the audience the lay of the massive 747 jet land. ![]() She must unleash herself on these men, while fighting to not attack the innocent, but as things become more chaotic, the number of vampires on the plane increases from just one to many, many more. This is a bit different though, once Nadja cannot control her vampire urges, she turns into a bald, pointy eared Nosferatu looking being. It reminds me of films such as Speed or Under Siege, where the hijacking is scary, but the motivation of survival takes these characters over. The passengers are notably scared and when young Elias tries to run to a cargo hold, Nadja is shot dead, that is until the bullets push back out of her body, and now she is one pissed off vampire.įor me, I am a big sucker- pun intended- for high intense scenarios such as this, where the question becomes how will anyone get out of this. It should be a simple trip, but it’s all delayed by Berg (Dominic Purcell) and his group of goons, led by the psychotic Eightball (Alexander Scheer), pulling out guns, killing the pilot, and installing one of the hijackers to earn their demand of financial compensation. The plan for her is to take the redeye flight to New York because it is there where a doctor might have a cure for her. We meet Nadja (Peri Baumeister) at her hotel room, prepping her medicines in a bag, while her son Elias (Carl Anton Koch) checks them into the airport. Blood Red Sky is mindless but it comes with a side of vampire rage. There may not be much deeper thought going into Blood Red Sky, but this is a thrilling, nasty vampire movie, soaring above the clouds, causing havoc on a 747. Director Peter Thorwarth is working with a solid idea, which feels like a mixture of retro themes, similar to movies such as Tony Scott’s The Hunger mixed with Passenger 57. ![]() It’s not a good thing to be stuck in the air when the hunger for blood must be satiated. It involves an airplane that is hijacked by a group of terrorists, but on this international flight from Germany to New York, there is a passenger that just so happens to be a vampire. The premise of Blood Red Sky is where the fun is. STARRING: PERI BAUMEISTER, DOMINIC PURCELL, ROLAND MOLLER, ALEXANDER SCHEERĪ’s RATING: 3 STARS (Out of 4)
