rottentomatoes.com/m/abigail_2024
Quick Glance: Abigail: Overview and Critiques
- Abigail presents well-established vampire tropes with an elegant ballet performance and a talented ensemble, along with a stylish style.
- A scary, bloody, and suspenseful film that made Elena S jump multiple times and featured an adorable vampire ballerina.
- Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett deliver an energetic mix of genres with a touch of dark humor, although the overly complicated plot and underwhelming characters slightly weaken the film.
- The plot revolves around the kidnapping of the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure and the resulting horrific events in a secluded mansion.
