Blood Relatives is now streaming on Shudder.
Noah Segan's feature-length directorial debut Blood Relatives pours on cadaverous cuteness in this indie vampire dramedy about surprise fatherhood responsibilities. Clear budgetary restrictions hinder feeding sequences, which becomes more a feature than a bug as Segan's screenplay reveals itself as a paternal character study. Cameras shy away when fangs are about to puncture flesh, distracted by Robert Allaire's plucky uptempo score or another Yiddish one-liner. Blood Relatives tells an undead tale about family values and compassionate sacrifice on a bargain value, trading shakier technical chops for emphasized storytelling sweetness by the barrel full.
Segan stars as a century-old Yiddish vampire named Francis, a slick leather-jacket rebel without a purpose or pulse. He's modeled after "The Fonz" and drives his beat-up ‘60s Barracuda muscle car down desolate American highways until the sun comes out and he requires shelter. That's until Jane (Victoria Moroles) appears at his motel door and drops a bombshell — she's his 15-year-old half-vampire daughter. Francis doesn't seem keen on becoming a father overnight, but Jane needs someone to show her the vampiric ropes. Maybe there's more to Francis under the jet-black greaser hair, overcompensating automobile, and nonchalant personality in place of vulnerable emotions.

Victoria Moroles acts as a formidable performative sparring partner, playing both instigator and lifes...

Nov 21, 2022 · By Josh Bell. Published Nov 21, 2022. For a vampire movie, Shudder's Blood Relatives goes pretty light on the bloodsucking. Although the main characters sometimes kill people and drink their blood, they aren't scary, and Blood Relatives isn't really a horror movie. It's more of a gentle family dramedy with a bit of vampirism thrown in.
