Ave Cantrell delivers an outstanding performance in the role of Abigail, marking her as a truly exceptional talent. Set in 1976, this gripping narrative follows Abigail, a troubled teenager, and her mother as they relocate to a quaint town in Alabama, aiming to leave behind Abigail's tumultuous history. There, she forms an unlikely bond with her neighbor, Lucas, a victim of relentless bullying at school. Intent on aiding Lucas in his quest for retribution, Abigail takes bold steps, but soon finds herself in a downward spiral. As Lucas uncovers the increasingly dark facets of Abigail's personality, the plot takes a perilous turn. Faced with a critical decision, Lucas must determine whether to remain loyal to Abigail or intervene to prevent further tragedy.

This movie was surprising, not horror though. It was more like a thriller with some horror elements. I didn't see the ending coming but after it kind of all makes sense. They seem like they set it up for a sequel which could be cool if the Abigail character becomes even more messed up. I love the 70s setting but maybe the next one could be 80s with them a bit older.
