History Film / BloodRedSky

** Farid later tries to do the same when the detonator is seemingly lost, but is stopped before he can reach it.

* HowWeGotHere: The film starts with the plane landing at an RAF base in Scotland, with Elias telling the story of what happened on board.

* AxCrazy: Eightball is so violently crazy he can barely look at someone without stabbing them. So much, that the other terrorists [[PragmaticVillainy had to stop him from constantly creating more problems.]]

* AxCrazy: Eightball is so violently crazy he can barely look at someone without stabbing them.

* VampireProcreationLimit: Nadja tries to enforce this when, after biting [[spoiler:Berg]], she stabs him in the heart as he starts to turn, and when she tries to set [[spoiler:Eightball]] on fire. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the plane's fire suppressant systems kick in before Eightball dies, and he infects the rest of the hijackers save for Bastian, who was safe in the cockpit flying the plane.]]

* InsideJob: The co-pilot Bastian and flight attendant Eightball are in on the hijacking plot. The location of the panel containing the ACARS had also been marked with "Good luck, motherfuckers" in UV paint.

* ShootTheDog: Nadja's first victim is a chihuahua whose blood she needs to recharge and fight her first hijacker. Later on, she, Farid, and Bastian lock the rest of the passengers out of the cockpit [[spoiler:as vampires slaughter them all because they let them in, they can't close the door again]].

* UndeadChild: [[spoiler:The little girl one of the hijackers used to threaten Nadja to open the cockpit becomes one when the plane is overrun.]]

* ShootTheDog: Nadja's first victim is a chihuahua whose blood she needs to recharge and fight her first hijacker.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Nadja loses her humanity to the point that she no longer recognises Elias, who is forced to kill her by blowing up the plane. On the positive side, there is no indication that any vampires survived, so the infection will not spread any further, and Colonel Drummond is finally convinced of Farid's innocence.]]

* InsideJob: The co-pilot Bastian was in on the hijacking plot.

* PoorCommunicationKills: When the plane lands, [[spoiler: Farid]] tries to tell the authorities what happened, but they mistake him for a hijacker and shoot at him, thinking that he is going to detonate a bomb. The authorities have to rely on a traumatized [[spoiler: Elias]] to tell them what happened on the plane, [[spoiler:and they don't believe him until it's too late, which gets the search and rescue team killed]].

* ContinuousDepressurization: Averted. When a window is broken by a stray gunshot, the plane decompresses near-instantly and Eightball is pulled towards it, but with all the air gone, everyone is able to move normally to scramble for oxygen masks.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They [[LooksLikeOrlok look like Orlok]] and have a HealingFactor that allows them to survive getting shot, but are vulnerable to sunlight and direct wounds to the heart. Vampirism also seems to be portrayed scientifically as TheVirus, with Nadja taking a medication to suppress it, vampires "burning up" in the sun portrayed as a severe sunburn caused by exposure to UV light, and bites spreading the infection.

[[spoiler:Unfortunately, the plane's fire suppressant systems kick in before Eightball dies, and he infects the rest of the hijackers save for Bastian.]]

* WeakenedByTheLight: Vampires are photosensitive, need to wear SunglassesAtNight, and suffer severe sunburns from even mild exposure to direct sunlight. 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.]]

* EnemyMine: Bastian teams up with Nadja and the remaining passengers once the vampires take over the plane. [[spoiler:Nadja kills him once she realizes that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he isn't necessary to land the plane]].]]

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Elias is forced to blow up the plane and kill his mother when it's clear she's lost her mind to the transformation.]]

* CampGay: The flight attendant Robert, to the point that his female co-workers lampshade it. He's actually Eightball, and is implied to be acting like this deliberately as part of his cover.
* DieHardOnAnX: Specifically, ''Film/DieHard'' on a plane... with a vampire as John [=McClane=].

* 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.

The authorities have to rely on a traumatized [[spoiler: Elias]] to tell them what happened on the plane. More people die as the result.

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]].
* WoodenStake: Eightball sharpens the handle of a hockey stick into a spear to use against Nadja.

* FalseFlagOperation: The hijackers want to make the plane crash look like an Islamist terrorist attack so that they can short the stock market.

* FalseFlagOperation: The terrorists want to make the plane crash look like a Middle Eastern terrorist attack. Why isn't clear, as that plan falls by the wayside when the vampire menace rears its head.

* CampGay: The flight attendant Robert, to the point that his female co-workers lampshade it.
