If there’s one word that could effectively capture actor Noah Segan’s feature directorial debut, Blood Relatives, it’d likely be earnestness.

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...

Having to follow up the latter’s success, especially when taking into account that RE0 was in development for far longer than the remake, it seemed that the prequel faced an insurmountable task.
