blood relatives is a new film coming to the Shudder streaming service after sweeping the festival circuit. Noah Segan of Knives out and starry eyes fame wrote, directed and starred in the film. He’ll play Francis, a 115-year-old Yoddosh vampire who still looks 35. He cruises America’s back roads in a decades-beaten muscle car, staying alone and loving it that way. So, of course, it’s not going to stay that way.
One day, a teenager named Jane, played by Victoria Moroles of Teen Wolf and I have never, shows up at the motel where he is staying. Having found Francis using the internet, she claims to be his daughter. A statement that is backed up by the fact that she had fangs. In addition, unlike Francis, she can also go out during the day with sunscreen.
After getting confirmation that Jane is his daughter, Francis doesn’t know what to do. He is advised to find something they could do together. While the trailer immediately jumps to Jane feeding and presumably killing someone, the official plan is for the two of them to go on a journey.
blood relatives is advertised as coming from the manufacturers of Scare me and infinity. Josh Ruben, who wrote, directed and starred in the first, can be seen in the trailer, apparently playing a Renfield-like character. He is a mental patient who is seen asking Jane for “a taste”, she holding out her finger for him to put in his mouth. Whether Ruben will be a supporting player or just a fun cameo remains to be seen.

Alamo Drafthouse and Fantastic Fest Founder Tim League said:
“I saw the movie at Fantastic Fest last month and fell in love. I ended up taking my 11-year-old daughter to the next screening two days later, and she was just as smitten. It was her first vampire film (apart from Hotel Transylvania) and his first film Fantastic Fest. In honor of this, Noah and I will have special gifts for all the dads with their kids at every stop on the tour.
After each screening, there will be a Q&A session with Segan. One of the moderators will be Douglas Benson, comedian, podcaster, actor and producer, who will work on Downtown Los Angeles, CA Q&A. Another will be Peaches Christ, filmmaker, actor and artist, who will host the Q&A in New Mosson, San Francisco, CA.
