IN A NUTSHELL:
A vampire's loner lifestyle is thrown into disarray when a teenager shows up claiming to be his daughter, and she's got the fangs to prove it. On a road trip across America's blacktops, they decide how to sink their teeth into family life.
The movie is both written and directed by Noah Segan. But wait, he also stars in it! That always impresses me, especially for a first-time director! I'm curious to see what else he has to say.
THINGS I LIKED: This unconventional road-trip flick features two vampires played by Noah Segan and Victoria Moroles.
Yiddish words like Mensch, "oy vay", "putz", and "schlep" are used.
It looked like the scenes were actually filmed on location, rather than on a green screen, which is always refreshing.
There is some humor to make the movie more playful and fun.
We get to watch an ancient vampire transition into a dad.
Some moral territory is covered as the vampires discuss the rights and wrongs of vampire life.
The film makes a statement on how we all just want to belong and know where we came from.
The filming and lighting were good, especially considering so many scenes took place at night.
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's a slow burn with a "meh" payoff.
Not all of the humor lands.
Not that much really "happens" to propel the movie into more than just a road trip film.
Fans of horror will be disappointed that there isn't more action.
TIPS FOR PARENTS: Lots of blood and some gore Profanity, including F-bombs Crude language and conversations
