Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story 2025

Set in 1914–15 rural California, the film follows Dr. Abraham Van Helsing (Titus Welliver), who relocates his family—including wife Mina (Jocelin Donahue) and sons Max (Brady Hepner) & Rudy (Judah Mackey)—to escape Dracula’s shadow. As Mina experiences eerie signs of his return and Abraham’s behavior grows erratic, the boys’ trust clashes with his unsettling actions.🎥 Direction Directed by Natasha Kermani (known for Lucky, Imitation Girl), this film is a psychologically driven horror rather than traditional vampire fare. Critics say it’s “Frailty meets There Will Be Blood”—a tense family drama cloaked in gothic atmosphere.🧪 Critics Reviews Critics: Mixed to negative — Rotten Tomatoes sits at 30% (26 reviews). Common Praise: Strong performances (Welliver & Donahue), character clarity, psychological suspense. Criticisms: Pacing is slow; some feel it lacks tension/gore expected from vampire stories.🎟 Estimated Box Office Performance (as of mid-July 2025): Opening Weekend (US limited): ~$240,000 Current Domestic Gross: ~$1.2 million International Gross: Limited to festival and select European screenings (~$300K) Estimated Worldwide Total: ~$1.5 millionThis modest performance aligns with its indie horror release model—primarily festival-driven, with a niche audience, followed by a streaming release on Shudder, where it may gain more traction.🎬 Conclusion Abram’s Boys is a bold, psychological reimagining of the Dracula mythos—less about fangs and more about family, fear, and faith. With Titus Welliver delivering a haunting performance as a tormented Van Helsing, the film trades gothic spectacle for emotional tension and domestic unease. While it’s not a crowd-pleaser for traditional vampire horror fans, those who appreciate slow-burn thrillers with moral ambiguity (think Frailty or The Witch) may find it quietly compelling. Watch it if you’re drawn to: Dark family dramas with horror elements Psychological takes on legendary characters Atmosphere and slow-building dread over action and goreIf you’re looking for vampires in capes and bloody battles, this may not hit the mark. But if you want to explore what happens after the legend ends—through the eyes of a father and his sons—this story delivers something rare: intimate horror with a literary soul. Read More
