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.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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.

Chicago Reader

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.

Film Ireland Magazine

Abigail’s unique premise reinvents the vampire movie, with innovation as fresh as What We Do in the Shadows. Bearing razor-sharp fangs, Abigail delivers a delicious dance with death.

Discussing Film

Abigail knows exactly what it wants to be and how to achieve it, you’re either riding on its wavelength or not. This type of sheer confidence is what the modern horror genre often lacks.

Rated: 4.5/5

I liked that it was the classic horror movie. More suspense and terror with the right amount of blood and gore.
