Blood Ties is a 1991 American horror thriller television film directed by Jim McBride, written by Richard Shapiro, and starring Harley Venton, Patrick Bauchau, Jason London, and Michelle Johnson.

The family try to assimilate into American life in Long Beach, California, but their lives are upset when a sinister group of hunters kill a member of their extended kin and threaten to come after them.

In the film, they are descended from Lilith (first wife of Adam before Eve) and Asmodeus (King of the Nine Hells) and have inherited healing abilities as well as above average human strength.

In Long Beach, California, journalist Harry Martin receives the details of the Texas killings, before heading out to hear the verdict of a court-case he has been covering.

Amy Lorne is cornered in an elevator by the members of the Shrikes, a biker gang named after the "unpleasant little birds who impale their prey on thorn bushes," one of whom the A.D.A.

He asks her to attend a "family party" with him before leaving her to join Eli Chelarin, the powerful businessman who fixed Butcherbird's trial.

Furious, Eli accuses Harry of betraying the family, speaking sneeringly of Amy and provoking him to a violent anger.

A shocked Cody refuses to believe it and attacks Butch out of rage leading to a wolf-like fight, much to the excitement of the other Shrikes and their women.

As tradition demands, their battle takes place at the hour of the jackal (3:00 am) on a beach where Eli has a new hotel under construction.

When the hunters are defeated, the Council vote to have them killed, even against Harry's pleas to simply turn them over to the Texas authorities for the murder of Cody's parents.
