Abigail (2024)
9/10
Kathryn Newton gets her year of horror
22 April 2024
Earlier this year, Kathryn Newton starring in Zelda Williams's "Lisa Frankenstein", as a girl who reanimates a corpse. Now she stars in another horror-comedy: "Abigail". In this one, some people get hired to kidnap a girl and hold her for ransom in a mansion...only it turns out that this girl is a vampire!

This movie has everything to love in a horror flick. Not just blood and guts, but cool characters, and the fact that there's more than meets the eye. Whatever the case, this is a fun addition to the pantheon of movies about killer kids (if you only know Macaulay Culkin from "Home Alone", then "The Good Son" will be a real shocker).

With the cast of Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera, Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, Matthew Goode and Giancarlo Esposito, this movie is a link between "Matilda the Musical", the "Scream" franchise, "Big Little Lies", "Downton Abbey" (twice), and the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe.

In conclusion, you'll never hear the Swan Lake theme song the same way again.
