Blood Relatives is a blast from start to finish. Noah Segan orchestrates a strong sense of atmosphere while still focusing on well-developed characters. His screenplay is whipsmart, while he demonstrates an excellent command of tone. Read full review

With this deconstruction firmly in place almost from the beginning, and through wonderful central performances by Victoria Moroles and Segan himself, Blood Relatives isn’t just a very good first feature, but a deeply endearing horror-comedy that’s one of the best genre films of 2022.

Blood Relatives is a warts-and-all brand of vampire indie that gets by with a bit of help from tremendous actor chemistry. Read 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 if not always memorable ride. Read full review

Blood Relatives isn’t always a great comedy about vampires, or fathers and daughters, but it is a charming road movie. Read full review

The Guardian Phil Hoad

With his reedy voice and fractionally mis-set eyes, Segan exploits his unsettling qualities in a deadpan performance that he lifts, as director, with pleasingly snappy, almost comic-book-like direction. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What an oddly satisfying movie. I don't know the story really went anywhere nor did anything. Just a kind of father /daughter vampire bonding film. It was sweet and a little horror-ish. Very charming acting from the two leads. And, in a world of woke trash there was no muh message. Just a good movie. Thanks
