Abraham’s Boys Christian Review
Abraham’s Boys… At first glance, it looks horror vampires, some blood, eerie lighting, all that. But if you stop and think… this is not just horror. This is something more-something more personal, more heavy. Haunting is not just limited to the screen. This story goes deep inside. It asks you this much-“What does evil mean? And do we ever come out of it or do we just get drowned in it?”
Yes, there is a Dracula and Van Helsing-type backdrop-but the spotlight is on their kids. Both brothers. The son of a man whose job was to fight the darkness… but while fighting he burned his own home. Love? He did not find it. Normal life? It was just a dream. Just paranoia, a little violence, and a constant fear. As if it were a war zone, not a home.
Exodus 20:5 comes to mind—the sins of the previous generation carry forward to the future. Van Helsing was probably not wrong… but when faith is lost in fear, even good can turn into bad. Ephesians 6:12 was right—real war is not about flesh and blood. It all happens inside… deep, invisible wounds.
What is visible on the screen is just a face. The horror that is not shown… its weight is of a different level-of guilt, of not getting redemption, of being driven away from one’s own heart. This pain does not speak, does not scream… it is only felt. And only those who have gone through that darkness can understand it. John 1:5 sits perfectly here- light came in the darkness… but the darkness did not understand.
Then sometimes there comes a moment… that moment when a voice comes out from some corner of the heart- “Enough. Now no more.” When one turns towards grace, one walks on the path of healing. Romans 12:21 comes back in a flash—“Be not defeated by evil, but overcome it with good.” And this is where the real weight of the film falls.
There is just one thing to warn you about—this film is definitely not for children. Some scenes are really disturbing. Violent too. But if you are a little mature… and have the courage to see the truth—even if it’s ugly, raw, uncomfortable—Abraham’s Boys will shake you to pieces.
This is not just a ghost, brother… this is the story of a family that was broken… yet somewhere there was hope left. This is a reminder for every broken Christian—that no matter how deep the darkness, if even a spark of grace and truth remains… redemption is still possible.
