‘Bosch’ Star Leads New Vampire Horror Movie from ‘The Black Phone’ Author
Earlier this year we reported that Shudder had acquired the rights to Abraham’s Boys, a new vampire horror movie based on the short story by Joe Hill (The Black Phone, NOS4A2). Directed by Natasha Kermani, we now have our first trailer for the horror flick, which stars Bosch favorite Titus Welliver as the famed vampire hunter, Abraham Van Helsing.
Set to hit theaters on July 11, Abraham’s Boys takes place years after the events in Dracula, and the new trailer (seen below) gives us a taste of what Van Helsing has been up to since. Now a husband and the father of two boys, Max and Rudy (Brady Hepner and Judah Mackey), we see the family living a quiet life in the rural countryside until an old enemy comes back to seduce his wife (Jocelin Donahue). As things progress, Van Helsing tries to teach his sons about the family business, and share secrets from his dark past. There’s even a glimpse of the vampire, which bares a striking similarity to that of Mr. Barlow from Salem’s Lot.
First published in a 2004 anthology before being added to Hill’s 2005 collection, 20th Century Ghosts, the synopsis for Abraham’s Boys gives us a little more insight into which direction the film is taking. While the trailer heavily showcases Van Helsing, it’s clearly a film about his two sons, and how their father’s past affects their present:
“Max and Rudy Van Helsing 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.”
More to come…
