Blood Red Sky

from Netflix
When a group of terrorists hijacks an overnight transatlantic flight, a mysterious ill woman must unleash a monstrous secret to protect her young son
I watched without any idea what the movie is about. But the #1 rating on Netflix got me curious. Foreign language movies hardly get the number one position for several days on Netflix and now I understand why. It is bloody entertaining and I liked it. The story of airplane hijackers mixed with vampires is very creative IMHO. The hijackers are shown to be more horrific and inhumane than the vampire who for many years has maintained part of her humanity because she has a son to take care of. What comes next after the announcement of hijacking is naturally predictable - vampires on a plane. 

It is a tad long at 2 hours and the boy who was getting on my nerves became even more annoying on the last third, never listening to his mother, but it is part of the story which made sense at the end. Acting is okay and the movie won't win any awards but surprisingly gratifying. 

Recommended for horror fans. German and English languages.
