Critics Consensus

Abrahams Boys: A Dracula Story bleeds its source material dry, opting for insipid plotting and misleading story-beats.

Simon Abrams

As airless and underdeveloped as its source material, which is now stretched thinner to accommodate a raft of superficial developments.

Rated: 1.5/4

Dennis Harvey

Variety

Its occasional goosing by nightmare sequences only briefly enliven characters that remain one-dimensional, and pacing that drags en route to an insufficiently explosive climax.

Natasha Kermani’s adaptation plods and waits to strike too late in the game.

Mac the Movie Guy

Sometimes it’s the movies that come the closest and have the most going for them that disappoint us the most when they miss the mark. It’s so easy to lament what might have been, but sadly we have to live with what is.

Heaven of Horror

I knew this movie was based on a short story by Joe Hill, and watching this movie did make me curious about that story. This is obviously a good sign. What isn’t very good is the fact that I felt this movie was far too slow-burn...

Rated: 2/5

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

A stiff, awkward "further adventures" story of the Van Helsing character from Bram Stoker's Dracula, this sort-of horror movie is, given the talent involved, surprisingly lifeless and anticlimactic.

Rated: 1/5

I give this movie props for setting a realistically world. It is not your typical jump scare horror ride. Which I can understand why people would dislike it being so slow paced. The actors did a good job & there are a few subtle eerie moments.

This movie could have been so cool but the ending felt blah and, as long as the film felt, it really needed a payoff. I felt robbed.

What a waste of time. Horrible how it treats the classic character Van Helsing. It tried to dissect the character but ruined anything interesting about him. Even if you watch it youll forget it by the time you walk to your car.
