Flashback to the original flight, we meet Elias’s mother Nadja (Baumeister) as we see the plane hijacked by Berg (Purcell) and his men. This sees them shoot Nadja unwittingly setting off a darker side to her personality. It has now become a battle for survival for passengers and hijackers alike.

Verdict on Blood Red Sky

Blood Red Sky is a horror thriller following an international flight that gets hijacked, only for that not to become the bigger threat. As one of the passengers has their own secret that gets revealed, leading to everything on board to be put in a fight for life.

This is a big bloody horror movie that could easily be compared to ‘Flight of the Living Dead’. Let’s face it is just vampires on a plane. However, by having the human hijackers cause everything to unfold, it adds an element of confusion to everything going on. There could have been an extreme little twist involved that does get avoided but, in the end, we get a fun big action horror movie. One that is filled with chaos from start to finish.

Final Thoughts – Blood Red Sky is a big blood-soaked vampire movie.

As the group look to adapt to a small village to hide, they learn about evil in the mystical region. The group need to find a way out before they become the latest victims of this creature’s attacks first through their own hearing.

Verdict on Saloum

Saloum is a horror thriller that follows a group of African mercenaries as they take shelter in a small village. It shows how they adapt to the terror which uses our own hearing as a means to attack the victim.

This is such an original and unique threat when it comes to evil in horror. It feels more like the opposite of ‘Bird Box’ where if you can hear it can’t attack. The effects are used extremely well to create the creature we see, as they would be genuinely terrifying to run into.

As for the performances, they are all great throughout the film, where the characters must work together to overcome the problems they face. This is a horror that will stick with you because of the horrors we are put through.

Where to Watch: Saloum is available on Shudder.

Final Thoughts – Saloum is a great horror with terrifying creatures.
