Movie Preview: Titus Welliver takes on Joe Hill’s “Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story”

Last Christmas’s “Nosferatu” remake was a Gothic Robert Eggers creep fest hit.

So now there’s a mad dash to see who else can get THEIR version of a vampire tale in front of audiences, with Luc Besson’s “Dracula: A Love Tale,” with Christoph Waltz, a Keanu Reeves “Dracula” and now this cheaper knock off based on a story by Stephen King’s horror-novelist son, Joe Hill.

Cute of King to provide a blurb for use in the trailer.

This tale takes vampire hunter Van Helsing (Welliver, of TV’s “Bosch”) to the US West to hide out in the early years of the 20th century. But the vampire finds his family.

Shudder and AMC made this and RLJE Films is putting it in theaters July 11 before it makes its way to streaming.
