Director: Cooper Roberts
A meteor turns a deadbeat dad into a brain-eating zombie, and his teenage son sees a golden opportunity: cast him in the horror movie of a lifetime. "All You Need Is Blood" leans hard into gore-comedy chaos with a soft, unexpected heart underneath.
What is All You Need Is Blood about?
Sixteen-year-old Bucky wants nothing more than to be taken seriously as an arthouse filmmaker, but his ambitions are stuck in his backyard until a meteor crash changes everything. The impact turns his absent, unreliable father into a shambling, flesh-craving creature, and instead of panicking, Bucky and his friends recognize a once-in-a-lifetime leading man. What follows is a scrappy, low-budget production built around a genuinely undead star, blending slapstick horror with something more personal underneath: a kid trying to make sense of a father who was never really present, now literally transformed into a monster he can point a camera at. The film balances splatter-comedy set pieces with a coming-of-age thread about family, ambition, and creative obsession.
