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

Rated: 1.5/4

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.

The Cinema Spot

The filmmaker imagines a reality post-Dracula and, therefore, a post-traumatic world. That can be quite relatable given the nature of history today.

Rated: 5/5

The Movie Cricket

The highlight of “Abraham’s Boys” is seeing Welliver, a character actor who usually plays gruff cops or shady criminals, dig into a hard-edged, enigmatic character like this.

Rated: 3/4

“Abraham’s Boys” is a good movie if you cannot guess within the first five minutes what the twist is going to be. If you are familiar with Hill or Welliver’s work, you are going to figure it out and get bored pretty quickly

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.

Enter into this period piece and find yourself in a world of mystery and terror. The panoramic views of the west contrast the bleak world that has been created for the young men in this film. Reduced to living a cloistered life by their father, they forge ahead to free themselves from the demons that would have otherwise been their destiny. This psychological thriller will leave you hoping for an Abraham’s Boys 2.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
