Children can be monsters – literally.

From Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the directing team behind the terrifying modern horror hits Ready or Not, 2022’s Scream and last year’s Scream VI – comes a brash, blood-thirsty new vision of the vampire flick.

In Abigail, 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.  Abigail stars Melissa Barrera (Scream franchise, In the Heights), Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Legion), Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Lisa Frankenstein), William Catlett (Black Lightning, True Story), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Angus Cloud (Euphoria, North Hollywood) as the kidnappers and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, Darklands) as Abigail. The film also stars Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, The Mandalorian).
