I had the bad idea of reading reviews before watching Blood Red Sky so the surprise wasn't total for me. My wife on the other hand had no clue what the story was about so she got that nice twist in the movie (a little bit like From Dusk Till Dawn). Blood Red Sky is not of the same quality as Quentin Tarantino's movie but it's certainly worth watching. Nice make-up, decent acting, and a good surprising story. I agree that the first half was better than the ending but overal I can't be disappointed by this movie which I enjoyed from beginning till the end and I'm certain a lot of people that like the horror genre will do as well.

Like many reviews, the first hour was fantastic. Really nice pace of character and story development. The second half got mediocre, but still worth watching to the end. The make-up is truly impressive. Acting is decent to good. You root for certain characters. So yeah, you get invested.
Nothing super spectacular overall (could have been!), but nowhere near as terrible as many other movies in this genre/type of movie. Don't mind the hateful (non-constructive) critics and decide for yourself.

I did not have much knowledge about this film so I was going in blind and I was shocked how this film took a huge twist. I think it paid off worked well. One of the better Netflix films.
I'm sure it's probably borrowed from other movies on a plane (be it snakes, zombies, etc). But with me not remembering much from them, I found this movie somewhat enjoyable and refreshing compared to other vampire or zombie films.
The reviews I've read so far are a little harsh. Because if you judge this movie on its own and not punish it for whatever previous titles have existed, this is a well-made movie.
The plot is fair simple and well structured. The motives of each of the characters are believable. The build-up and structure of the story is good. Acting is reasonable. The editing and way in which its shot is reasonable. Even the make-up of the monsters was pretty good.
One thing I can say for sure, it's better than the other Zombie flick released this year (Army Of The Dead)

You are in for a great 2 hour plane journey. When you like horror movies that is.
I thought it started a little slow, but keep watching.
It's a German movie, but the mix between English and German is well done.
Try and see it when you like horror movies, not giving anything away here.

It was a good start. Story was fine but after the mid story changed the direction. I see overacting. The story has lot of potential but executed poorly.
Greetings from Lithuania.
"Blood Red Sky" (2021) was a very bloody movie. Make up effects were superb, as well overall craftsmanship. I liked the story and set up. The only let down of this movie was i think that it was maybe a bit to long. But on the other hand we got a story that was successfully told. I won't go into details and spoilers, but this is a one good movie in its genre. Reminded me of "30 Days of Night" (2007).
Overall, i was really surprised of how well this movie was. I did not knew anything about it, haven't seen trailers nor read synopsis, and i was pleasantly surprised. A good genre movie.

Another amazing production from Netflix Germany. I am sure that; Netflix's European department definitely works better than the US department. And probably getting cheaper, better quality work.

This would have been so much better without the kid in it. He served no purpose for the story and constantly did annoying and unnecessary stuff.

Basically the standard "German woman morphs into an avenging vampire to protect her son" story. I'm 60 minutes in and so far I'm enjoying it.
Honestly, there is nothing to spoil. This movie lets you know how it ends in the opening scene. Which I think was a big mistake. The film was already too predictable without showing the audience how it ends.
Blood Red Sky needed a good film editor. Because it's a horror action movie cutting twenty minutes or so of superfluous scenes might have sped up the ride and made the movie better. I get it the protagonist is a vampire and loves her son. The first act was reasonably good, the second act felt way too long and predictable, and the third act ended with your typical action trope.
It gets four stars because most of the effects were good, the acting was, for the most part, competent, and I watched the whole thing.

Seriously tho, this caught me off guard. Slow at first but it catches up. Builds up the antagonist and protagonists but doesn't give too much away. Chaos ensues but never stops.try not to watch the trailer. Yes it's a vampire and terrorist movie.
It is definitely 30 minutes too long. BUT!!!!!!!! It does not let you down on the gore or the cliché deaths.
It does provide an excellent mother/son aspect that's missed in modern media. People these days would despise a story so deep and dark. Sacrifice. Selfishness. Selflessness. Determination. Self-preservation, insubordination, and Gluten-free.
See what I did here?

Although a bit excesive on the action side, and a little bit longer than it should be, nevertheless, a fine movie to watch.
