🎥 Reel Review: Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story (2025)

What if the scariest part of Dracula wasn’t the vampire—but what he left behind? Abraham’s Boys reimagines Van Helsing not as a fearless monster hunter, but as a broken man unraveling before his two sons.

Titus Welliver delivers a brooding, haunted performance as Abraham, who is both a protector and a threat. Brady Hepner and Judah Mackey bring a believable mix of loyalty and fear as his kids, trying to piece together what’s real. There are no capes or castles here—just dry California heat, dusty rooms, and creeping dread.

Natasha Kermani directs with restraint, letting the tension simmer instead of scream. It’s more of a ghost story than a vampire tale, and while that choice leaves some horror fans wanting more, the psychological weight carries its punch. Mitten’s Verdict: Abraham’s Boys trades fangs for fear—and lets the trauma do the bleeding. Rated: 6.2 out of 10
