After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they're locked inside with no normal little girl.

Critics Consensus

Carrying off well-worn vampire tropes with a balletic flourish, Abigail dances around the familiarity of its premise with a game cast and slick style.

Audience Consensus

em>Abigail is a little silly, a little scary, and a lot of fun -- just be prepared for a story that takes its time getting going and might go on a little too long.

This horror-thriller is chaotic and a bit too long, but in the same vein as 2022’s M3gan, it’s ultimately entertaining.

Horror Movie Club Podcast

Abigail delivers a clever and modern twist on a classic tale, and is executed by a strong ensemble cast and big budget gore designed to please the masses.

Rated: 3.5

Chris Sawin

Bounding Into Comics

Abigail has the bickering, playful ribbing, and explosive gore of Renfield. The cast is phenomenal and has some enjoyable moments in the film. However, once you see one enthusiastic body eruption, it becomes redundant, and the humor falls flat.

Rated: 2/5

Like Leigh Whannell’s 2020 reimagining of The Invisible Man, Abigail proves that you don’t need a bigger Dark Universe to make damn good horror films as part of Universal’s legacy in the genre.
