Titus Welliver will always be synonymous with Harry Bosch. Over a decade, the actor deftly embodied the relentless detective, turning the character into one of the most loved crime-drama protagonists of the streaming era. It's little surprise that fans would have happily followed Bosch's story for years to come, especially with Michael Connelly's extensive bibliography offering ample adaptable material. Sadly, Bosch: Legacy came to an abrupt end in 2025, a decision that disappointed both audiences and Welliver himself, who has repeatedly spoken about the lack of closure surrounding Harry Bosch's story. While the actor remains hopeful that the character will make a major return in some form, another project from his post-Bosch career is getting a new release. Welliver has hardly slowed down since Bosch: Legacy ended. The actor recently returned to familiar territory with MGM+'s The Westies, playing a police officer navigating the violent streets of 1980s Hell's Kitchen. He's also remained equally active on the big screen, appearing in Killing Castro (2026) and set to co-star with Liam Neeson later this year for the crime thriller The Fix. However, it is another of Welliver's recent film projects, his first leading movie role after Bosch, that is suddenly back in the spotlight, giving fans a fresh chance to discover a stellar performance they may have overlooked the first time around. In a marked departure from the hard-boiled lawmen he's known for, Welliver led the 2025 horror film Abraham's Boys, playing legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in the Joe Hill adaptation that serves as a follow-up to Bram Stoker's Dracula. The film, which earned only a modest box office return, made its streaming debut on Hulu last month, and now, it's set for a second life on home media, signaling a growing quiet interest in the project. Coming exactly a year after its theatrical release, Shudder has announced a two-disc 4K Blu-ray edition arriving on August 25, complete with HDR presentation, a booklet featuring new writing by Heidi Honeycutt, a video introduction from Hill, and audio commentaries from the film's creative team. Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck. Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit. Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it's too late for anyone who isn't paying close enough attention. Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised. Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it. Chucky's greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it's already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is. Written and directed by Natasha Kermani (V/H/S/85), Abraham's Boys offers a very different take on the legendary vampire hunter. The film follows Abraham Van Helsing as he raises his two sons under strict rules designed to protect them, but as the boys begin uncovering the truth about their father's past, their family's carefully controlled world starts to unravel.
