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.

This was a very good movie. I just wish it was a series so that we could see a continuation of their story.

A great movie made even better by featuring songs from one of my favorite punk bands, Screeching Weasel!!

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!

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.

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.

This is a really great movie. Comedy and horror but this is more like a caring and parental love and also braveness to show your love. This movie show the thing I don't have and I wanted it so bad. I really appreciate this movie and thank you Noah dude.

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

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

Rated: 2.5/4

AV Club

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.

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

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.

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.
