Pitch Black is a Sci-Fi action/horror thriller about a group of passengers and crew that crash-land onto a planet and discover voracious and terrifying hammer-headed flying creatures! One among them is a prisoner called Riddick who can see the creatures even in near-total darkness. Notable for Vin Diesel's first appearance, this is a great beginning and captures the desperation of a group being devoured one by one. A good film.

Riddick: I truly don't know what's gonna happen when the lights go out, Carolyn, but I do know, once the dying starts, this little psycho fuck family of ours is gonna rip itself apart.
Question: When Riddick says that the monsters can track them because the girl is bleeding, and Jack is revealed to be a girl, is it her period that he is talking about? Did Riddick smell it, too?
Answer: Yes, it is her period. Considering that he lived in darkness for years, it's possible that he smells it too. It's also equally likely he realized she was a girl and that the creatures were all riled up and put two and two together. But the first explanation fits Riddick's character better.
