Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayDec 12, 2022
Segan doesn’t force anything. He takes each situation and imagines what might realistically happen — and then what might happen next. He builds a world that feels real, and anchors it with a relationship so wholesome that its easy to see why a lonely vampire would upend his whole existence to preserve it. Read full review

Film ThreatBobby LePireDec 1, 2022
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

The GuardianPhil HoadNov 23, 2022
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

The A.V. ClubLeigh MonsonNov 23, 2022
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

Paste MagazineMatthew JacksonNov 21, 2022
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.

Movie NationRoger MooreNov 18, 2022
The energy flags in this lighthearted dark romp, but that happens in comedies that live and die on their snappy, shticky banter. Blood Relatives is still shticky enough — and sticky enough — to deliver laughs with bite. Read full review
