Buzzy Horror Opens At Mediocre Numbers

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s film Abigail is a contemporary reworking of the Universal Classic Monsters picture Dracula’s Daughter.

The movie tells the tale of a bunch of experienced thieves who kidnap the daughter of a wealthy mother and demand a $50 million ransom, only to find out later that the victim is a vicious vampire.

Horror enthusiasts have found success with the movie, but the directors went completely crazy, adding ridiculous amounts of gore and black humour.

The big-budget, studio horror film has been eagerly anticipated by audiences, and it shows what Radio Silence and Melissa Barrera could do without the Scream franchise.

Plot twists are especially advantageous to Dan Stevens’s character “Frank” in the horror film “Abigail,” since they let him show off his stylish New York accent. By the third act, Stevens emerges as Abigail’s unexpected MVP, justifying the absurd planning.

In the film, a small vampire dressed in a pink tutu performs ballet while pursuing helpless targets. This foolishness may not be to everyone’s taste, but the final chuckle is wonderful. Abigail’s self-assurance and capacity for success are uncommon in the contemporary horror genre.
