New York, NY (Top40 Charts) A woman with a mysterious illness is forced into action when a group of terrorists attempt to hijack a transatlantic overnight flight. In order to protect her son she will have to reveal a dark secret, and unleash the inner monster she has fought to hide.
The English-German action-horror film from Rat Pack Filmproduktion is scheduled to arrive on the streaming platform on July 23 after overcoming COVID-19 related production delays. Formerly known as Transatlantic 473, the vampire movie was directed and co-written by Peter Thorwarth, who previously released a short film version of the project in 2015 with a different cast and crew.
When terrorists take over an overnight transatlantic flight, a woman suffering from a mysterious illness (The Last Kingdom's Peri Baumeister) is forced into action. With her son's life at risk, the woman must unleash the vampire within to save her son, her fellow passengers, and herself from the machinations of the skyjacking terrorists. While horror hasn't always been Netflix's primary focus, Blood Red Sky's plot certainly balances the film's action-thriller set-up with its vampiric protagonist.
Now, Netflix has released the teaser trailer for Blood Red Sky. A tense score pervades the claustrophobic hijacking scenes, and while the terrorists insist that their demands are strictly monetary, it soon becomes clear that they don't mind shedding a little blood to send a message to their hostages. As the situation becomes more and more dangerous, the sickly woman comes to the realization that the only way to save her son and everyone else from a grim fate is to shed her hard-fought humanity. After leaving her son under the care of another passenger, the woman undergoes a grisly transformation from economy plus occupant to vengeful bloodsucker.
