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.

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.
