If there’s one word that could effectively capture actor Noah Segan’s feature directorial debut, Blood Relatives, it’d likely be earnestness.
The charming horror-comedy sees writer/director Segan starring as Francis, an old vampire whose nomadic lifestyle gets upended by the arrival of Jane (Victoria Moroles), the teen daughter he never knew he had. Francis and Jane embark on a bloodsucking road trip that’ll test their new family bonds.
Blood Relatives is a personal story for Segan. Ahead of its release on Shudder, just in time for Thanksgiving on November 22, 2022, Bloody Disgusting spoke with the filmmaker about the horror-comedy’s charming sincerity, Jewish vampires, and the touching origin story behind Francis’s ultra-cool 1969 Barracuda Fastback.
It becomes apparent from the outset that Francis’s identity is intertwined with not just his vampirism but his Jewish heritage. When horror often explores Judaism through demonic possession, Blood Relatives offers a refreshing departure.
