Sink your teeth into the all-new film made by Radio Silence, best known for Scream 6 and Ready or Not, with Abigail.

 

Our story follows a group of criminals, Joey (Melissa Barrera), Frank (Dan Stevens), Sammy (Kathryn Newton), Peter (Kevin Durand), Rickles (William Catlett), and Dean (Angus Cloud), who kidnap a powerful underworld figure’s daughter named Abigail (Alisha Weir). The goal is to hold her for ransom in an abandoned mansion for 24 hours until they get paid $50 million in total. What they don’t know is that they are stuck inside a mansion with a blood-sucking vampire. How is this little girl a vampire? Why are the criminals locked inside the mansion? And what relation do these criminals have with the child they kidnapped? The mystery unravels as a ballerina vampire wreaks havoc on these worthless criminals.

 

It’s hard to explain the full plot without spoiling the story because the preview for this movie already reveals that the title character is a vampire. I had a feeling that it wasn’t just about a vampire ballerina taking out criminals, but that there was something more meaningful going on. That extra plot point made the movie more intriguing and kept me interested in what was happening on the screen. I think the acting made the experience better because the interaction between the criminals and Abigail was a lot of fun to watch. The best part of the movie was Weir’s performance as the ballerina vampire. She was extremely manipulative and clever at fooling these criminals. The gore in this movie was extreme, with body parts flying and blood being splattered all over the place. So, do not take your children to this film. The downside to this film is that the movie’s ending felt anti-climactic and took the wonderment and mystery out of the viewing experience. Since this makes or breaks a film for me, it was a bit disappointing.

 

The overall verdict is that this film is a good time for horror fans, or fans of Radio Silence. I would suggest seeing this in the theater. If you want to wait and have a scary movie night at home, this would be the perfect film to do so.
