“We have control of the plane.”
Nadja and her son, Elias, are on their way to New York City in order to try a new form of treatment for Nadja’s strange illness. A young man named Farid takes a liking to Elias and visits with him while Nadja is taking her medicine in the bathroom. Once all three are on the plane to New York, a group of terrorists take over the flight. During an altercation, one of the terrorists shoots and kills Nadja……or does he? It is soon revealed that Nadja’s “illness” is actually the fact that she is a vampire, and a pretty nasty one at that. The rest of the film features the terrorists attempting to kill Nadja until one of them decides to take extreme measures to finish her. Chaos ensues.
This German film is a Netflix production. It stars Peri Baumeister as Nadja, Carl Koch as Elias, Kais Setti as Farid, Alexander Scheer as Eightball, and Dominic Purcell as Berg. Baumeister really shines in this movie, as she struggles with being a single mother and attempts to stave off her hunger for human blood. Her relationship with Elias drives this story. It’s really excellent. Scheer does an amazing job as the psychotic Eightball. He really takes being a villain to a new level. Setti wins over the audience with his kind portrayal of Farid. The rest of the cast do a fine job as well.
The gore is top notch in this film but it isn’t the entire focus of the movie. There are some very violent scenes in this movie entangled with some powerful emotional scenes. You definitely need to check out Blood Red Sky. This 2021 horror flick is great!
