History Film / BloodRedSky

** Eightball and the other hijackers get this when Nadja reveals her vampire self by biting Berg's neck, counting as a MassOhCrap.
** He has this again later in the climax when he turns to see the sunlight after Farid steers the plane to shine the sun on him, [[WeakenedByTheLight causing him to fry up and fall off the plane.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Eightball doesn't hesitate to point a gun at Elias when he tries to make a run for it. When trying to regain control of the cockpit, he selects a little girl to threaten to kill. Berg is disgusted, but goes along with it.

** Farid and Mohammed, both of whom are innocent Muslim men, are forced to read statements in Arabic that will make them seem to be MiddleEasternTerrorists, [[FrameUp 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 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. They shoot the dog accordingly.

* TerroristsWithoutACause: The hijackers' exact political goals or motives are never outright revealed, and they behave more like mercenaries hired for a job instead of ideologically-motivated militants.

* WeakenedByTheLight: Vampires are photosensitive, need to wear SunglassesAtNight, and suffer severe sunburns from even mild exposure to direct sunlight. The terrorists also figure out that a UV lamp will stun Nadja. In the climax, [[spoiler:Farid exploits this by turning the plane perpendicular to the morning sun so that it shines in through a breached door, frying Eightball.]]

** Farid and Mohammed, innocent academics, are forced to read statements that will make them seem to be MiddleEasternTerrorists, setting them up to take the fall for the plane's hijacking.

There's also a German who is a former associate of Egyptian radicals; his name is on a suspect watchlist even though he says he no longer has anything to do with them.

* FrameUp: The hijackers attempt to frame Farid and a few other innocent Muslim passengers by [[MistakenForTerrorist making them look like]] MiddleEasternTerrorists as part of a FalseFlagOperation. Because they forced Farid to state a threatening message in Arabic for this plan, the British military officer at the RAF airbase is skeptical of Farid's innocence and [[CassandraTruth warnings about the plane being infested with "monsters"]].

* MamaBear: Nadja gets shot trying to protect her son. This does not stop her one bit.

* MonstrousCannibalism: During [[spoiler:the climactic fight between Nadja and Eightball, who have both become vampires, Eightball suddenly bites Nadja and attempts to feed on her blood]].

* VegetarianVampire: 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 onto hunting humans (though she tries her best to only eat [[AssholeVictim the terrorist hijackers]]). [[spoiler: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.]]

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Nadja is just a widowed single mom and a peaceful law-abiding citizen who really doesn't want to become a vampire, regularly taking medication to suppress the bloodthirst and halt the transformation for as long as possible. Even after circumstances during the airplane hijacking force her to transform further into a bloodthirsty mutant vampire, all she wants to do is fight against the terrorist hijackers in order to protect her son, and also wants to help the other innocent passengers and crew members taken hostage. However, [[HorrifyingHero her frightening new appearance and behavior as a vampire unsurprisingly scares everyone around her]].

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Nadja is just a widowed single mom who really doesn't want to become a vampire, regularly taking medication to suppress the bloodthirst and halt the transformation for as long as possible. She also functions as a VegetarianVampire by only drinking the bare minimum amount of blood (presumably derived from raw animal meat) that she needs to stay nourished. But after getting shot by Eightball, she kills and feeds on a helpless small dog to recover, then moves onto humans (though she tries her best to only eat [[AssholeVictim the terrorist hijackers]]).

* LooksLikeOrlok: Becoming a vampire will either immediately or eventually make you look hideously and inhumanly monstrous. 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 her jaws have filled up with sharp fangs (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 PointyEars, ghoulish eyes, an upturned nose, and FemmeFatalons. Other people who get turned into vampires also have most of these features like pointy ears, fangs and claws, though they don't lose their hair yet.

* LooksLikeOrlok: Nadja's vampire transformation causes her hair to fall out, her ears to turn pointy, and her mouth to start filling up with gigantic fangs. She wears a wig to cover her baldness, and her medication stalls the rest of it, but after she gets shot, the full transformation kicks in. Other people who get turned into vampires are also shown to grow fangs and pointy ears.

* TheVirus: Rather than an explicitly supernatural curse, vampirism is depicted as some sort of contagious disease that turns people into ferociously bloodthirsty mutant monsters, transmitted through bite wounds or exchange of body fluids. After Eightball injects himself with Nadja's infected blood to turn himself, he immediately starts attacking and infecting anyone around him, and soon multiple new vampires are filling up the plane.
