Audience Consensus

Blood Red Sky has a great idea for a horror movie, even if it's quite a bit slower than its cool setup might suggest.

A estrutura em flashback, com o filme começando quase pelo final, e mostrando sua construção até chegar nesse ponto pata concluir, já é bem datada, e o tocante ao terror é bem clichê, porém o filme entrega boas atuações, algumas cenas emocionantes, e uma história convincente, ou boa, se preferir essa palavra... Assistiria mais de uma vez tranquilamente, apesar de não ser perfeito, caiu no meu gosto!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it. A strangely moving and action-packed story of the undead in a confined space. Don't mess with her kid!

A genuinely brilliant take on the vampire genre. Action-packed, gory, and incredibly tragic. Like "Let the Right One In", tt should be short-listed on anyone's top pick of vampire films.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

To be fair, it's not a bad movie. I usually follow the audience score and ignore the critics. However, this time I must confess the critics were fair, this movie deserves a 70%. I'm pretty sure people got mad at the movie due to the killing of two dogs, which was totally uncalled for

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Very goofy. Blood Red Sky suffers from a wonderful concept with poor execution. The pace of the film dramatically increases at the end, making the conclusion feel less satisfying.

The sense of surprise or playfulness that you would think is inherent in a 'Bats on a Plane' concept just isn't here.

Rated: 1.5/4

San Jose Mercury News

Director/co-writer Peter Thorwarth splatters the screen with gore while tossing in surprises, delirious preposterousness and even a few touching moments. It's grand fun.

Rated: 3/4

It's an intriguing dilemma - one that a better film would have done more to contrast against the hijackers' craven inhumanity - but "Blood Red Sky" fails to coagulate that conflict into action.

Rated: C-

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Blood Red Sky is itself a fantastic premise that starts off really well but sadly hits too many obstacles along the way to make a great story.

Rated: 6.5/10

Film Cred

It may draw from obvious influences, but it is its own movie, standing alone as a suspenseful, moving, and surprising film from start to finish.

Nightmare on Film Street

Blood Red Sky is a victim of its own pacing but it still delivers everything you're looking for in a good vampire movie (not to mention a good heist movie)

Rated: 6/10
