This leaves Nadja no choice but to reveal an unbelievable secret in order to ensure her son’s safety.
Review of Blood Red Sky
This is a film with a lot of ambition, and is mostly successful with accomplishing what it is trying to do
With a unique concept the film stands out from your average vampire flick.
The vampires look bad ass, the transformations are well done and believable and the threat is always present. You feel the connection the mother has to her child and the bait and switch in the first half of the film is a satisfying reveal.
The action special effects and execution of the two is where the movie gets most of its points for me.
Where it struggles is the run time. It is just way too long for the story it is trying to tell, they really needed to trim the fat
It was like they were trying to accomplish too much when they already had enough there to go with and each idea was a little over shown and over explained.
With that said I do still see this film as a sort of hidden gem and worth a watch especially as someone who loves vampires but it does loose points for not having a more concise story and runtime
Score
7/10
