“I hate ballet…”

Abigail released in theaters on April 19th 2024. The vampire horror film stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Alisha Weir, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, and Giancarlo Esposito. The film runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

A group of would-be criminals kidnap a twelve-year-old daughter of a powerful crime boss and hold her in an isolated mansion, but when they discover that she is a vampire, they quickly realize that they are the ones in real danger.

Here is the trailer:

Abigail has everything I want in a horror movie and more with a genius concept that executes itself flawlessly on screen. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

“Dream f*ckin team!”

Seriously, this was one of the best ensembles I have seen in a film in a very long time! I was so excited to see this one because of the cast: Melissa Barrera (Scream 5 and 6), Kathryn Newton (Freaky, Lisa Frankenstein), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Kevin Durand (LOST and The Strain), and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad). I mean…can you get much better than that?

That’s already perfection to me and they DELIVERED and ate up every ounce of screen time with charisma. I loved all of the characters and thought that Alisha Weir was exceptional, but Dan Stevens edged out everyone for me. He was so fantastic in this. Loved every second of these performances!

So much fun!

Whoever came up with the premise of a ballerina vampire is a GENIUS! It was twisted and bonkers and it just worked so well! I knew I was going to love this film and it lived up to the hype.

It featured the perfect blend of humor and horror, which is what I love to see. It was so playful and I loved the gore. Abigail is brought to us from the same people who made Ready or Not and it very much channeled that vibe, but it never felt unoriginal or stale. It had its own voice and I’d honestly rank it right up there with that one and that’s one of my favorite horror films.

The Cons:

Yeah…I don’t have any.

I really don’t. This movie will definitely become a regular watch for me. It was fantastic and I don’t have anything negative to say about it.

So am I in or out?

I’m in 1000 percent!!!!

Abigail is bloody perfection!

The vampire genre is back and better than ever!

My favorite film of the year so far!

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
