American Psycho

Mary Harron’s adaptation of the novel brings the dark humor and bloodletting in equal measure.

Snakes on a plane? Thats old history. Netflix's 2021 German-British co-production Blood Red Sky houses a ludicrous yet unbeatable premise: humans trapped on a transatlantic flight with free-roaming feral vampires. To that end, Blood Red Sky combines elements of Jodie Fosters 2005 psychological thriller Flightplan with the monster-evading claustrophobia of Train to Busan. Viewers certainly turned into the supernatural horror-action-thriller hybrid upon its debut. Blood Red Sky scored over 50M global views in less than a month, making it the streamer's most-watched German program ever (as of 2021). Iron-clad in its appeal, satisfactorily frightening, and surprisingly sad, Blood Red Sky does well by that "vampires on a plane" logline by rejecting satire. In the age of What We Do in the Shadows, the film is more somber than the conceit might suggest, its strengths lying in its build from a slow-burn psychological thriller into a gruesome bloodbath grounded by a mother's love...

Netflix’s German space thriller The Signal packs a great amount of space action from the get-go with an ample amount of mystery and suspicion shrouding the central characters. The Signal follows the return of an astronaut, Paula, played by Peri Baumeister, to Earth after she intercepts a mysterious message from extraterrestrial beings. After Paula dies in a plane crash on her way home, Paula’s husband Sven, played by series co-writer Florian David Fitz, and Paula’s daughter Charli (Yuna Bennett) set out to unravel the mystery behind the unfortunate death of Paula. The four-episode German miniseries not only resolves the central mystery by the end, but also evokes some important questions about changed attitudes and perceptions of humanity.

Paula's mission to space turns into a fight for survival as she uncovers a shocking conspiracy close to home. The mysterious voice from space leads to a dangerous discovery that challenges humanity's trust and values. An unexpected twist reveals the true origin of the "hello" message, shedding light on the depths of human nature.

“Hello?”… Reel in your singing voice because this is not the beginning of Adele’s song. Unless Adele decided to pursue a new career, which includes delivering a child’s voice coming from outer space, discovered by a German astronaut in the 2024 Netflix miniseries, The Signal.

With its myriad of nerve-wracking moments, the series has captivated the attention of many space and sci-fi lovers alike, but what is the deeper meaning behind The Signal, and what is it actually about?

What Is The Signal About?

The Signal (2024) TV-MADramaMysterySci-Fi Release DateMarch 7, 2024CastPeri Baumeister, Florian David Fitz, Yuna Bennett,...

The Signal ranks as the eighth most popular TV show on Netflix in the U.S. for the week of March 4 – 10. The limited series beats out Hot Wheels Let's Race and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but falls short of titles like The Tourist and Furies. The Signal has not been widely reviewed by critics, but has earned mostly poor reviews from audiences.

The Signal, a sci-fi miniseries, has nabbed a spot in Netflix's top 10 list in the U.S. Releasing onto the service on March 7, The Signal stars Florian David Fitz as Sven, the husband of a missing astronaut who balances his quest to uncover the truth about his wife while dealing with the struggles of being a single father. The German language show hasn't been widely reviewed by critics, but the audience reception has been generally poor, with the show holding a 35% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Netflix now reveals that,...

After months up in space, Paula is back on Earth and will soon be reunited with her family. Just one more night until they’ll be in each other’s arms. But something is off. Paula’s acting… strange. The next day, her plane crashes. What was supposed to be a long-awaited homecoming turns into a disaster. As her husband, Sven, and daughter, Charlie, investigate Paula’s disappearance, they uncover secrets that pose an otherworldly threat to humankind.

Directed bySebastian Hilger (Wir sind die Flut) and Philipp Leinemann (Blame Game), the German mystery-thriller The Signal stars Peri Baumeister, co-writer Florian David Fitz, and Yuna Bennett.

Warning! Spoilers for Blood Red Sky and The Signal.

Peri Baumeister's role in Blood Red Sky amplifies her work in The Signal as a mysterious and determined character. Both titles blend sci-fi and mystery to surprise viewers, showcasing Baumeister's acting range. The Signal benefits from Baumeister's success in Blood Red Sky, enhancing Netflix's international content.

Peri Baumeister's role in the miniseries The Signal is a great reminder of the actress's prowess, which was seen in her record-breaking Netflix film Blood Red Sky. The film was Netflix's most-watched German title, as it was streamed in 50 million households worldwide. The film also had a 90% completion rate and reached the top ten in 93 countries.

The Signal follows Sven Groth (Florian David Fitz) as he and his daughter Charlie (Yuna Bennett) attempt to uncover the secret of wife and mother Paula Groth's (Peri Baumeister) death after her flight home from the International Space Station vanished.

The limited series The Signal features an intriguing international cast. The German sci-fi show landed on Netflix's U.S. Top 10 during the week it premiered. Florian David Fitz, Peri Baumeister, and Yuna Bennett are key cast members.

The The Signal cast is chock-full of unique international talent. The show, which is called Das Signal in the original German, is a limited series that premiered on Netflix in March 2024. While it has a small core cast, the science fiction drama features quite a few interlocking characters in a story that takes place across multiple timelines.

The Netflix sci-fi show has become a crossover hit, trending outside of its native Germany. During its first week on the platform, it landed on the service's Top 10 chart in the U.S. alongside English-language hits including The Gentlemen and Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, because it is an international production, many of its cast...

One of the youngest and most integral characters of Netflix's The Signal is Charlie, played by actress Yuna Bennett. 

The German miniseries starring Florian David Fitz and Peri Baumeister is a mystery-drama about a husband investigating his astronaut wife's disappearance and the clues she left behind. 

Yuna Bennett was tasked to portray the couple's space-loving daughter who also happens to be deaf; as audiences catch her performance in the sci-fi series, here are four things to know about the budding young star.

Netflix is well known for its popular original TV series, and the shows slated for release next month are likely to be no exception. While three of the platform’s offerings happen to be non-English language shows, their subject matter should be more than enough to entice English-language audiences to check them out. However, if such a prospect isn’t alluring, a handful of other shows are worth checking out.

Fans of Guy Ritchie classics will want to add his latest series, starring Theo James, to their watchlist. However, science fiction lovers will also have two series to enjoy, each exploring a different kind of discovery in outer space. For audiences who enjoy teen romantic dramas, a highly anticipated series is returning for a third season. In addition, fans of the heist genre will have a new series to check out as well. Here is every new original series coming...

"Something's coming to us. Nobody must know." Netflix has unveiled the full official trailer for a German space mystery series titled The Signal, arriving for streaming in early March.

The exciting mystery drama is a 4-part limited series from Netflix.

The new horror film “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” was dubbed “Dracula on a Boat” by social media users, and the twist on the chapter from Bram Stoker’s iconic horror novel definitely did deliver on the premise of the age-old vampire feasting on the crew of an unlucky ship.

Introducing a monster of any kind — alien, werewolf, zombies — to a vehicle that can’t stop and can’t let anyone off is a tried-and-true horror formula. Here are some of the movies where the combo of “creature” + “claustrophobic form of transportation” worked and some where it ran aground.

This week’s new horror releases bring The Last Voyage of the Demeter, based on “The Captain’s Log” chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It features the iconic vampire at his most monstrous as he lurks about the schooner and preys upon the passengers and crew. Thanks to Dracula, much of cinema’s portrayal of the vampire leans romantic; their predatory tactics are often seductive, masking their monstrous nature until far too late. This week’s streaming picks are dedicated to monstrous vampires, the vicious bloodsuckers unafraid to show off their inner creature. These vampires are vicious in their kills and showcase great creature designs.

As always, here’s where you can stream them this week.

Sleeping Dog (Schlafende Hunde) is a German series starring Max Riemelt. Created by Oded Davidoff and Noah Stollman, this entertaining thriller takes us into the world of lawyers, detectives, criminals, and unsolved cases.

It is perfect for those who seek a well-crafted police intrigue, with charismatic characters and a corollary story, primarily well-told in its entirety.

Plot

A new death awakens disturbing doubts about an old case supposedly closed. A former policeman who now lives on the street sets out to uncover the truth.

About the Series

“A Good Script” is the primary strength of “Sleeping Dog” built on well-constructed, real, and charismatic characters in a story that knows precisely what fascinating history to tell and how to make everything surrounding the main axis interesting.

Technically, it does not strive for aesthetics or the treatment of shots. There is a lot of handheld camera work, many sequences that want to be real and natural,...

Exclusive: Blood Red Sky is set to be Netflix’s most successful German content to date, film or TV, with more than 50 million households around the world projected to watch the film by next week. That surpasses the historical series Barbarians, which previously held the record.

The plane hijacking / vampire film only released on July 23 and will reach the benchmark within its its first 28 days on the platform.

In addition to its global audience figures – which saw an average of 90% of viewers watch the entire two-hour runtime – the film has also reached the top 10 in 93 countries, hitting the number one spot in 57 including the U.S., Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines. It has actually been more of an international hit than a German one, having only reached no.2 in its native country, though notably the film is primarily in English, with portions in German.

Deadline sat down with director...

Coming to Netflix on July 23rd is Blood Red Sky, a compelling horror / thriller set on a passenger plane with some incredible performances and practical makeup effects! I recently had the opportunity to speak with director and co-written by Peter Thorwarth, who told me about the origins of this project, working with Peri Baumeister, and bringing the movie's vampire to life:

I wanted to start by learning more about the origins of this project. What sparked this idea for a horror movie set on a passenger flight?

It started when I was sitting on a transatlantic night flight. I was staring out the window and was thinking, "Okay, if I were a vampire, I’d have to organize myself, and take a night flight. When this gets hijacked, and the hijackers turn the plane around and fly backwards towards the rising sun, I have a problem."

Then I started thinking,...

In the new Netflix film from director/co-writer Peter Thorwarth, Blood Red Sky, two things become eminently clear early on: there are a hijackers onboard a red eye flight from Germany to America; and there’s a vampire, Nadja (Peri Baumeister), amongst the passengers as well. And the only things keeping her from feasting on those around […]

The post ‘Blood Red Sky’ Director Peter Thorwarth on Putting a Vampire on an Airplane [Interview] appeared first on /Film.

In the grand tradition of “Deep Rising” and “From Dusk Till Dawn,” Peter Thorwarth’s “Blood Red Sky” is a hijacking thriller that — at just the right moment — is suddenly hijacked itself, as the bad guys realize that they’re in a very different movie than the one for which they signed up. Except that “Blood Red Sky” doesn’t find just the right moment; this undercooked, overlong piece of genre-blurring German schlock hardly even seems to look for it. On the contrary, this midsummer Netflix release drops its big twist with all the panache of an incidental detail, one that requires too much backstory and offers too little excitement in return. And so what could’ve been a fun chimera that someone Frankensteined together from two wildly different films instead becomes

"Evil is within you. You can't control it." Netflix has debuted the full-length official trailer for the German horror thriller Blood Red Sky, which is pretty much Vampire(s) on a Plane (instead of Snakes). A woman with a mysterious illness is forced into action when a group of terrorists attempt to hijack a transatlantic overnight flight. To protect her son she will have to reveal her dark secret, and unleash the inner vampire monster she has fought to hide. The big twist is that she is the "good guy", sort of, not the big bad vampire - it's hijackers versus her. Which is seriously a killer concept. Starring Peri Baumeister as Nadja, joined by Kais Setti, Alexander Scheer, Dominic Purcell, Graham McTavish, Roland Møller, Chidi Ajufo. This looks like wicked cool vampire entertainment, but not sure it's going to be that memorable by the end. Here's the full-length trailer...

When a group of terrorists hijacks an overnight transatlantic flight, a mysteriously ill woman must unleash a monstrous secret to protect her young son. How is that for a premise?

It's vampires on a plane in the first trailer for Netflix's upcoming suspense movie, Blood Red Sky, which finds a woman with a mysterious illness who must fight to protect her son when terrorists take over her plane. Of course, because this is a high-concept horror movie, the illness can only be vampirism of zombie-infection, thankfully (?) it's the former, with the woman unleashing the inner monster she has fought to hide.

The deliciously high concept behind Blood Red Sky should help take cinematic vampires to dizzying new heights, with the vampire on a plane no doubt causing all manner of bloodshed and chaos at 30,000 feet. The claustrophobia of the cabin is presented well in the footage, as we feel the walls closing in on the kidnapped passengers. Of course, this will take a violent turn of a different nature when the vampire is released, quickly turning the terrorists from predators into prey.

A teenager obsessed with bodily fluids, experimentation and tampon-swapping is put on display in the first trailer for Wetlands. Carla Juri stars as Helen, an unorthodox young girl who begins to flirt with a handsome male nurse while scheming with her friend Corinna to reunite her parents.

Christoph Letkowski, Marlen Kruse, Meret Becker and Axel Milberg co-star in this adaptation of Charlotte Roche's novel, arriving in limited release September 5 from Strand Releasing.

Bodily fluid-obsessed teenager Helen describes herself as a living hygiene experiment. After an intimate shaving accident, she ends up stuck in the hospital, where she skateboards through the halls and reminisces about her culinary experiments, the seductive powers of her unwashed scent, and used-tampon swapping with her equally uninhibited best friend, Corinna. All the while, she charms a handsome male nurse with her nasty sex talk and schemes to reunite her mismatched parents.

Sundance just ended, and we are already preparing for the next big film festival, South By Southwest. Not too long ago, the festival announced a few of the films premiering this year, but now they’ve announced the main slate. The midnight selections and some inevitable late-breaking additions are still to be announced, but this should be more than enough to get you excited. Along with many World Premieres, and Sundance favorites like Richard Linklater’s Boyhood and Gareth Evans’ The Raid 2, the line up also includes an anniversary screening of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and an extended Q&A screening of The Grand Budapest Hotel with Wes Anderson. SXSW 2014 runs March 7 through 15 in Austin, Texas. Check out the line up after the jump.

Today the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference and Festival announced a diverse features lineup for this year’s Festival, the 21st edition and running March 7 – 15, 2014 in Austin, Texas. The 2014 program expands on SXSW tradition of embracing a range of genres and span of budgets, featuring a wealth of vision from experienced and developing filmmakers alike.

After announcing earlier this month that Jon Favreau’s Chef and the Veronica Mars movie will be making their world debuts at SXSW this year, the festival has revealed its full line-up, including further very promising world premieres, alongside appearances from some of the year’s most high-profile films.

The Midnight programme will be announced early next month, along with the Shorts line-up, and the complete Conference slate a little later as well.

Led by Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, Nicholas Stoller’s anticipated R-rated comedy, Neighbors, will be making its world debut at the festival, notably marked out as a ‘work-in-progress’ ahead of its theatrical release in May.

David Gordon Green’s acclaimed Joe will make its Us premiere, having bowed at Venice and then Toronto last year. Early reviews have Nicolas Cage giving one of the finest performances of his career, with Tye Sheridan (Mud) excellent alongside him.

Not sure if there is a Short Term 12 equivalent in this year’s Narrative Feature Comp, but on paper SXSW programmers are serving up a mean (and the usual lean group of 8 out of a whopping 1,324 film entries) for the upcoming competitiuon of eight which includes notable entries (that we’ve been tracking for a good time now) such as Zachary Wigon’s The Heart Machine, John Magary’s The Mend, Leah Meyerhoff’s I Believe in Unicorns and Lawrence Michael Levine’s Wild Canaries.
