Christopher H Abigail' strikes a potent balance between visceral violence and psychological thrills. While the kills may be modest, the film delivers where it counts, boasting authentic atmosphere and compelling performances that lend a disturbing realism to its narrative, centered on a compellingly unstable character. The pacing is a masterclass in building suspense, steadily cranking up the intensity as the protagonist's descent into madness accelerates. The child actors deliver remarkably natural performances, adding a layer of unsettling realism to the film's disturbing events. The film's ending, though a little goofy, ultimately fits the tone and provides a perfect, short explanation. 'Abigail' is a lean, mean psychological thriller, with echoes of 'American Psycho' in its exploration of a fractured mind. Highly recommended for those seeking a tense and unsettling cinematic experience. I would definitely give it a watch.

The actors add to the weight of the story. Well-paced, directed, and written, this stands tall as a little film that achieves its goals. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review S.L L 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Ross W 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
