#BuzzScreenReview: Blood Red Sky

Have you watched it? Well, buckle up you, are in for a ride. We are about to find why the movie has been sitting in the top 10 picks on Netflix since it landed. Be warned the content is not for the faint-hearted ones. Things could get messy real quick and, you do not want to be the talk of your family after letting loose a scream or a little pee on your seat. Get the drift? At the same time, it isn't all bad. If it does not get you scared, it will leave you feeling mush on the inside, with a tear in your eyes perhaps. They say nothing gets to you like the love of a mother, this will get you there.

'Blood Red Sky' is not your usual vampire-horror movie (yes, that's somewhat the storyline). The ability of its creators to merge the horror aspect and the humane part (mother's love) makes it special, and worth the time. It had me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you have the gist, it swerves and takes the story in a different direction, pulls at your emotions, too.

The movie tells the story of Nadja and her ten-year-old son, who embark on an overnight flight from Germany to New York – but there's more to Nadja than meets the eye. She appears ill and ill at ease. She never lets her precocious son Elias out of her sight and hangs on to him for dear life when terrorists hijack the plane taking them from Germany to the US. They are in for a shock. A secret weapon is on board, which makes their hijacking party a living nightmare. Without giving any spoilers away, you've got to watch it to feel it.

The director Peter Thorwarth adjures up a nail-biting gorefest that leaves nearly every corner of the plane splattered by the end of 121 minutes. The movie balances tenderness with mayhem with the moving relationship between mother and son resulting in several heart-tugging scenes amidst the heart-stopping suspense.

If you are the type that loves different, you are in for a treat. If you are the type that is afraid of a little mayhem, do not watch this alone and, if you are ready for the movie, check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!
