This movie should have been called Vampires on a Plane. It could have also benefited from some Samuel L. Jackson.

Nadja and her son, Elias, board a long flight from Europe to New York when the plane is hijacked for some elaborate theft or something. The mother is actually a vampire that goes full savage when she can’t take her vampire-suppression medicine. Anyone she bites turns into a vampire and you can imagine where it goes in a confined space at 30,000 feet.

The concept was what originally attracted me to watch the movie. Who doesn’t want to see vampires tear up an airplane? Even more interesting is how the Nadja character tries desperately to keep her vampire self under control, but ultimately has to give in to try to save her son.

Where the movie suffers is with too many plot elements. It muddied what could have been really great by trying to do too much in the span of 2 hours.

It’s still way better than Sorority House Massacre.
