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 Says

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.

Quite often very funny, but it all runs out of steam... If you want to just go laugh and squirm, you can do that here.

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

"Abigail" continues Universal’s hot streak of telling inventive new stories with their Universal monster characters.

I ended up really liking the movie. It’s going to be one of those movies that the less you know about it the more that you’ll like it.

7/10

Abigail is one of those films where the full premise almost feels like a spoiler, and where the less one knows going in the more enjoyable the ensuing film is likely to be.

4/5

The film delivers as advertised: blood and guts, an on-point cast, a witty screenplay, and a fun take on various well-trodden genre tropes.

A pretty weak addition to the vampire movie catalog. Remember Kirsten Dunst killing it in her performance as a kid vamp in "Interview" back in the day? Yeah. this ain't that.

A fun and blood soaked vampire film that feels like a callback to the vampire films of the 80’s.
