What to Know

Critics Consensus

A father-daughter road trip with a vampiric twist, Blood Relatives is one horror-comedy genre mashup that sucks in all the right ways.

Segan doesn’t force anything. He takes each situation and imagines what might realistically happen — and then what might happen next. Go to Full Review

Segan’s efforts to be both sensitive and knowing are commendable, even if the rest of the movie sometimes isn’t. Go to Full Review

Like the cobbled-together parts of an aging engine, or the seemingly incompatible members of a chosen family, Blood Relatives holds together with just enough passion and love that its sturdy engine takes audiences for an enjoyable ride. Go to Full Review

The film has plenty of horror moments but there are also moments where Moroles gets to deal with some comedy. Go to Full Review

Moroles's bouncy performance enables her to steal the show, while Segan's Yiddish speaking undead characterization is funny even when he tries to be serious. Go to Full Review
Amanda Mazzillo Film Joy 12/01/2022
Noah Segan's debut as writer/director offers a unique, heartfelt and hilarious take on classic vampire lore and the journey of fatherhood. Noah Segan and Victoria Moroles shine as the unlikely father and daughter duo. Go to Full Review

Andrew L. @light4668 Nov 24 Really not bad. I almost passed on watching based on the cover photo which is goofy and cheesy. I didn’t though and turned out to be a pretty good movie. See more Roddy H 12/10/2023 This was a very good movie. I just wish it was a series so that we could see a continuation of their story. See more Joe K 08/25/2023 A great movie made even better by featuring songs from one of my favorite punk bands, Screeching Weasel!! See more Brodie H 03/11/2023 A humorous and chill film that's plumbs the tension between the allure of independence, outsider status, and entrenched masculine identiy, with the need for sustaining relationships that feed the soul (along with those close encounters that meet other needs). It's a road/buddy movie. It's a comming of age flick. It's a family drama, yada yada yada. Oy vey! See more harris r 01/29/2023 A missed opportunity that lacked the bite to make it stand out. This was very poorly written and directed, and surprisingly, just bland and boring, and not funny at all. The concept was interesting, but it missed the mark in every other department. The two leads had zero chemistry, I'm sure mostly due to writer, director and lead actor Noah Segan's failure to direct himself and Victoria Moroles properly. The only really convincing actor was C. L. Simpson as Sylvie. Moroles' and Segan's dialogue also felt forced and convoluted, with Segan's occasional high-pitched voice squealing becoming cringe. The story had nothing much out of its basic narrative to offer - nothing really suspenseful or thrilling, or that wasn't cliched and predictable. For a comedy, we never laughed once. A decent effort for actor Segan to newly dabble in filmmaking, but maybe he wore too many hats on this one. See more Craig B @Boundsy 12/20/2022 Actually not too bad. Father-daughter road movie of sorts…but both are vampires, and dad wasn't aware of his daughter's existence until she tracked him down. Described as a comedy but no real laughs in this…more a drama than anything else. If you like vampire movies and you have 87 minutes to spare, this is something a little different. Give it a crack.
