Dracula is one of the most iconic villains of all time, leading writers and filmmakers to constantly search for new ways to portray him, from focusing on his underling<\/a>, to putting him on a boat<\/a> to having him fight the X-Men<\/a>. The latest version, starring Titus Welliver of Bosch <\/em>as Dracula\u2019s nemesis Abraham Van Helsing, is changing things up by keeping the Count in the shadows while building up family drama in a way more reminiscent of a haunted house story than a vampire one.<\/p>\n

Based on a short story from NOS4A2 <\/em>and Locke & Key<\/em><\/a> <\/em>writer Joe Hill\u2019s first book 20th Century Ghosts<\/em>, Abraham\u2019s Boys <\/em>follows Van Helsing\u2019s sons Max (Brady Hepner of The Black Phone<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and The Holdovers<\/em>) and Rudy (Judah Mackey of The Young and the Restless <\/em>and Stillwater<\/em>) as their father becomes paranoid that Dracula is coming for their mother Mina (Jocelin Donahue of Doctor Sleep<\/em><\/a>). Clocking in under 90 minutes, it promises to be a tight story about confronting their family history and legacy while wondering if their dad has lost their mind. Set in 1914, the trailer ditches the gothic horror trappings for a more Western vibe, with the family living in an isolated ranch home that they are trying to fortify against the vampire lord.<\/p>\n

Abraham\u2019s Boys <\/em>is directed by Natasha Kermani of Lucky <\/em>and Imitation Girl<\/em>. It will premiere in theaters on July 11 before heading to Shudder.<\/p>\n
