The filmmaking team known as Radio Silence — which consists of producer Chad Villella and co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett — is at it again with another horror gem.
With Abigail, the team that previously brought us Ready or Notand Scream VIhas delivered a crowd pleaser filled with fresh blood. Matilda the Musical's Alisha Weir stars as a savage ballerina vampire and, according to Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko, delivers one helluva performance.
If you missed it in theaters or would rather watch it at home where you can hide under a blanket, it's available on digital as of June 25, and it hits streaming officially on July 19. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Abigail.
What is Abigail about?
Abigailfollows a group of criminals who kidnap a rich man's daughter after ballet rehearsal in order to claim a $50 million ransom. The script is flipped, however, when they realize the pint-sized dancer (Alisha Weir) is actually a vampire. Now they're locked in an isolated mansion with her, not the other way around. As expected, heads will roll.
Here's the full trailer:
Is Abigail worth watching?
Despite the trailer practically giving away the entire plot, audiences and critics alike deemed Abigail "certified fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 85% and 83% score, respectively. While Mashable's own reviewer wasn't a huge fan of the sentimental detours that detract from the fun of it all, she still deems the overall film "a blast."
"It's exactly the kind of gonzo, gory, goofy crowd pleaser you'd hope for considering its very well-promoted premise. Still, I wish it moved as fast and ferociously as its terrorizing tiny dancer," Kristy Puchko writes.
