Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story is based on a short story from writer Joe Hill’s (NOS4A2 and Locke & Key) first book 20th Century Ghosts, writes Phil over at Live for Films.
Abraham’s Boys follows Max and Rudy Van Helsing, who have spent their lives under the strict and overprotective rule of their father, Abraham. Unaware of his dark past, they struggle to understand his paranoia and increasingly erratic behavior. But when they begin to uncover the violent truths behind their father’s history with Dracula, their world unravels, forcing them to confront the terrifying legacy they were never meant to inherit.

Directed by Natasha Kermani (Lucky and Imitation Girl). Titus Welliver (Bosch) plays Abraham Van Helsing. The film also stars Jocelin Donahue, Aurora Perrineau, Judah Mackey, and Brady Hepner.
“It was a joy to bring Joe Hill’s dark, gothic story to the screen on location in California, with a fantastic Los Angeles cast and crew,” Kermani said in a statement. “I’m so excited to now be able to share the film with audiences all over the world alongside my friends at RLJE Films and Shudder.”
“We can’t wait to bring Abraham’s Boys to audiences and expand the Dracula legacy with a fresh and compelling perspective,” said RLJE Films’ Chief Acquisitions Officer Mark Ward. “Natasha Kermani has woven a gripping, character-driven horror story that drags Van Helsing’s past into the light — whether his sons are ready for it or not.”
It hits US cinemas on 11th July before heading to Shudder.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
