Verdict on Blood Red Sky
Blood Red Sky is a horror thriller following an international flight that gets hijacked, only for that not to become the bigger threat. As one of the passengers has their own secret that gets revealed, leading to everything on board to be put in a fight for life.
This is a big bloody horror movie that could easily be compared to ‘Flight of the Living Dead’. Let’s face it is just vampires on a plane. However, by having the human hijackers cause everything to unfold, it adds an element of confusion to everything going on. There could have been an extreme little twist involved that does get avoided but, in the end, we get a fun big action horror movie. One that is filled with chaos from start to finish.
Final Thoughts – Blood Red Sky is a big blood-soaked vampire movie.
