Abigail | Rotten Tomatoes: After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure ...

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.

Quick Glance: Mistrial Declared in Arizona Rancher's Case Involving Migrant Fatality

In the case of 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, accused of shooting a migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border, a judge has declared a mistrial.

Kelly faced charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault related to the fatal shooting on Jan. 30, 2023, of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a 48-year-old migrant from Nogales, Mexico.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in Kelly's statements to law enforcement officials during the investigation.

The defense argued that Kelly was merely protecting himself and his wife, firing warning shots above the group, while the prosecution contended there was no evidence of another shot being fired and that the migrant was unarmed.
