Blood Red Sky	comment	Blood Red Sky (aka Transatlantic 473) is a 2021 British-German Action Horror film directed by David Thorwald, written by Thorwald and Stefan Holtz, and starring Peri Baumeister, Roland MÃ¸ller, Graham McTavish, and Dominic Purcell. It premiered on Netflix on July 23, 2021.Nadja and her son Elias are aboard a transatlantic overnight flight from Germany to New York. Nadja suffers from an illness that prevents her body from producing blood, forcing her to take regular medication, and is traveling to America to see a doctor who can treat her condition. Unfortunately, Nadja's flight is hijacked by a group of terrorists, and she gets shot while trying to protect her son. This, however, does not kill her... as it turns out that her "illness" is actually vampirism. Fully transformed into a vampire, Nadja now stalks the plane in order to take it back from the terrorists and save Elias.The trailer can be viewed here.

Blood Red Sky / int_10cdfe4b	comment	Fall Guy: Farid and Mohammed, both of whom are innocent Muslim men, are forced to read statements in Arabic that will make them seem to be Middle Eastern Terrorists, setting them up to take the fall for the plane's hijacking. They both have flight training and were lured onto the flight to attend a fake conference set up by the hijackers. There's also a white German Muslim convert who is a former associate of Egyptian radicals; his name is on a suspected terrorist watchlist, even though he insists that he no longer has anything to do with them. After Nadja kills the first hijacker, she releases a dog from its kennel so the others will think it ripped the man's throat out. One of his accomplices shoots the dog accordingly.

Blood Red Sky / int_143c304b	type	Vegetarian Vampire
Blood Red Sky / int_143c304b	comment	Vegetarian Vampire: Nadja initially tries to function as such by only drinking the bare minimum amount of blood (presumably blood derived from raw animal meat, which she is seen sipping in a flashback) that she needs in order to just stay alive, though she looks weakly and malnourished. But after getting shot by Eightball, she kills and feeds on a helpless small dog to recover from her injuries, then moves on to hunting humans (though she tries her best to only eat the terrorist hijackers). As she continues consuming more blood, doing this ensures that her vampiric transformation accelerates until she is no longer mentally human, even eagerly running after her own son to hunt him in the ending.

After Eightball intentionally injects himself with Nadja's infected blood to become a vampire, he immediately starts attacking and biting anyone around him, and soon multiple infected people are filling up the plane.

At the beginning of the film, Nadja (who had been taking medication for several years to stall her transformation) has already lost all her hair (she wears a wig to hide her baldness), and some sharp fangs have grown out of her gums (which she hides behind a set of false teeth). After losing her medicine and drinking blood from a dog, her transformation starts accelerating; such as gaining Pointy Ears, ghoulish eyes, an upturned nose, many more sharp fangs, and Femme Fatalons. Other people who get turned into vampires also have most of these features like pointy ears, creepy eyes, fangs and claws, though they don't lose their hair yet.

They don't look or act very human, and are more like wild predatory animals that are always hungry for blood. They are somewhat faster and stronger than normal people; and while they're far from being Nigh-Invulnerable, they have a Healing Factor that allows them to survive gunshot wounds, especially after drinking enough blood to regenerate from their injuries. Vampirism also seems to be portrayed less supernaturally and more scientifically as The Virus, with Nadja regularly taking medication to suppress it, vampires "burning up" in the sun portrayed as severe photosensitivity to UV light resulting in sunburns, their reflections appearing in mirrors just fine (which allows Nadja to see how inhuman her infection has made her look), and the infection is transmitted through biting. It's not known for certain whether the vampires in this film are undead, as they seem to be more alive. It's also never discussed if vampires are immortal or at least live longer than normal humans; and aside from the aforementioned Super-Strength and Healing Factor, they do not really display any other noticeable superhuman or supernatural abilities.

Blood Red Sky / int_bb18a227	comment	It's All About Me: The entitled broker dooms just about everyone when he releases the vampires from the cargo hold so one will bite him, in order to survive the internal injuries which will soon kill him. The vampires think of him as one would a chicken nugget.

Blood Red Sky / int_bce16d24	type	Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
Blood Red Sky / int_bce16d24	comment	Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Eightball has Nadja at his mercy, but is fascinated by her vampirism and gets a sample of her blood before going to stake her. This gives Elias time to intervene. Berg tells Carl to shoot Eightball if he steps out of line again, causing Carl to mutter that they should do that right away. He regrets not doing so.

Blood Red Sky / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: In the final scene, Elias approaches the plane just as the vampires are leaving it, led by a now-fully savage Nadja. She stops for a few seconds when she sees him, and appears to recognize her son. Those few seconds end with her screeching in delight and leading the charge of the vampires towards the kid and the smorgasbord of humans in the terminal. Now completely sure that Nadja's gone, Elias unhesitatingly blows up the plane and incinerates all of the vampires.

Blood Red Sky / int_c3df91ff	comment	Wooden Stake: Eightball sharpens the handle of a wooden hockey stick into a spear to use against Nadja. It's shown that a knife to the heart works just as well, as when Nadja uses one to put down Berg as he turns, but Eightball had likely seen too many vampire movies. Or a knife works as long as you kill the person before they fully turn.

Blood Red Sky / int_c696f3ba	comment	Heroic Willpower: Most vampires devolve into bloodthirsty, barely cognizant monsters not long after turning. Nadja, out of love for her son (and presumably with the help of medication she had been taking for years), retains most of her sanity and is able to fight off her urges for as long as possible, though they do eventually get the better of her. It's more like Villainous Willpower, but Eightball is the only other vampire aside from Nadja who seems to retain any human intelligence or personality after being turned, though he stops speaking like a human and acts even more Ax-Crazy as a vampire.

Blood Red Sky / int_d247a7c3	comment	Beauty to Beast: Nadja was a fairly attractive woman when she was human. By the start of the film, her infection has already caused her hair to fall out. Her vampiric transformation speeds up considerably after she gets shot, and by the middle of the film, the other passengers are reacting to her more hideously monstrous appearance with horror. After her transformation into a vampire is complete at the end, she looks and acts totally unrecognizable from her human self.

Her initial goal in the beginning is to fly to New York in hopes of being cured by a doctor there. Not only does she ultimately fail, but she also ends up getting killed after she had finished turning into a fully Feral Vampire, losing all of her human emotions and memories too.

Unfortunately, the plane's fire suppressant systems kick in before Eightball dies, and he infects the rest of the hijackers save for Bastian, who managed to escape. A flashback shows the father of the vampire who infected Nadja trying to shoot her and burn the body because he's become convinced there is no cure, so the only course is Murder-Suicide to prevent their 'evil' from spreading.

The terrorists also figure out that a UV flashlight will painfully stun Nadja. In the climax, Farid exploits this by turning the plane perpendicular to the morning sun so that it shines in through a breached door, frying Eightball and sending him falling into the ocean.
