Inside ‘Abraham’s Boys,’ the Subversive Western ‘Dracula’ Sequel With Van Helsing Battling Evil in the Daylight


'Abraham's Boys' was a short story sequel to 'Dracula' by Joe Hill. Now, writer-director Natasha Kermani has turned it into a Western movie.

In “Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story,” writer-director Natasha Kermani made a small-scale family drama about a father raising his sons. While Van Helsing is a strict parent to his two sons, Max (Brady Hepner) and Rudy (Judah Mackey), they begin to wonder if he’s losing his mind as he warns that Dracula’s dark forces are resurfacing through his wife, Mina (Jocelin Donahue). Ultimately, Kermani believes that the world of “Abraham’s Boys” would be ripe for even more chapters, as she would often discuss with Hill what the future could hold for the titular young men.
