"Abigail" is a successful vampire film that manages to mix horror and black humor in the style of classics like "Fright Night" and "The Lost Boys", in addition to being refreshing and superior to the bitter "Renfield" released last year. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett team up again to achieve another success in their film career, after "Scream" (2022) and "Scream VI" they also turn to the protagonist of these, the scream queen Melissa Barrera for star in "Abigail", she again achieves a prominent role as final girl, being sweet and brave (showing that her absence weighed on "Scream 7" after her unjustified dismissal), in addition to Barrera, another scream queen is also in the cast: Kathryn Newton, who demonstrates her acting skills in a dizzy character. In the titular character we have the no longer promising actress, but the established Alisha Weir, who provides an iconic character for horror films and is endearing. Dan Stevens, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud (in his last acting role), Giancarlo Esposito and Matthew Goode all give good performances in their supporting roles. Aaron Morton does a great job as director of photography, achieving his second success this year after the majestic "The First Omen", and pays tribute to the cinematography of "Ready or Not", a film made by the aforementioned directors of "Abigail ". Melissa Barrera and Kathryn Newton demonstrate their acting talent and hold high their titles of scream queens, along with them Alisha Weir joins to bring us the instant classic "Abigail."
