Why watch this film?
The genre of vampire stories really evolved with 'Blood Red Sky'. If you like those that flirt with action - like 'Blade' and 'Underworld' - you will find this one a delight, since much of it takes place inside an airplane, hijacked by a terrorist. Nobody would imagine such a scenario for a vampire production, but this narrative worked out very well. The development ends up being much more complex than it seemed at the beginning of the story. The characters manage to gain good depth, without exaggeration or lack of details, and the plot twists are interesting.

From the same director
Blood & Gold
Set in Germany during World War II, but with a spaghetti western sensibility, Blood and Gold is a war film directed by Peter Thorwarth (Blood Red Sky) with an evident Tarantino-like sensibility. The plot follows a German deserter who becomes involved alongside a young Jewish woman in a battle against the Nazis, who are searching for hidden gold. Acidic humor, exaggerated violence, and Nazi blood flowing everywhere make it comparable to Inglourious Basterds, and even if it doesn't reach the same levels, it's a fun substitute.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
