Francis, a 115-year-old Yiddish vampire, still looks 35. He's been roaming American backroads in his beat-up muscle car for decades, keeping to himself, and liking it that way. One day, a teenage kid, Jane, shows up. She says she's his daughter, and she's got the fangs to prove it. They go on the road, deciding whether to sink their teeth into family life.

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.

2.5/4

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

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.

Segan can't sustain early momentum, with the picture eventually losing its way, but he gets it up and running with authority, creating an interesting addition to the vast world of vampire cinema.

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.

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.

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 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.

i ended up liking this one more than i initially thought i would. it's not your typical vamp film & maybe a little slow-moving at times, but overall it's quite charming. i don't think i would go out of my way to recommend it to anyone else, but I'm not sad i watched it.
