- rg9400November 1, 2024I found this movie entertaining, though not nearly as good as Ready or Not. A good chunk of the beginning of the movie is dedicated to setup, assuming there will be tension regarding what the actual premise of the movie is in regard to the girl they kidnap. However, the trailers spoiled this aspect of the movie, so I found the beginning setup to be a bit slow. Once it kicks into gear though, the movie alternates between the type of fun horror I've come to expect from these creators, though sometimes it takes itself a bit too seriously. The motivations, development, and drama between all the characters end up not being very important, so I feel like the movie could have ignored some of those aspects entirely instead of trying to build them and then have characters make actions that do not align with those backstories at all (or have those backstories become fully irrelevant). But when the movie shifts away from a lot of this setup and embraces its pulpy, over-the-top core, it ends up being a ton of fun. I loved seeing Dan Stevens and Alisha Weir fully embrace their roles, and there is plenty of gore and silliness that works really well. I just think Ready or Not was a more balanced and complete movie that still managed to lean into these aspects more, but this isn't bad and ends up still being better than their two Scream movies.
- karellstemarieMarch 12, 2026Fun movie, but you’ll possibly see the twist coming too soon
- shanergainerMarch 13, 2025Liked the concept but I need prequel and sequel
- Sammy's_GirlFebruary 28, 2026EHEHEHEHEHE I LOVE SAMMY AND JOEY (I SHIP THEM ALSO LEAVE ME ALONE)
- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 22, 2025Knowing nothing going in, the twist truly caught me off guard. But once the thrill of the gimmick faded, it felt pretty mediocre.
- queensland6October 10, 2025Great movie, enjoyed the ending. Love the setting the movie was filmed in.
- DJOctober 17, 2024Abigail is a diamond in the rough when it comes to Vampire films. It doesn't take itself to seriously yet manages to provide solid scares, violent kills and laughter throughout. Expect to laugh, jump and be thoroughly entertained.
- jody.b5August 19, 2025I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.
- Paul WalshFebruary 13, 2026This is a fun movie! Grab some popcorn and a soda (or beer) and enjoy the formulaic chaos. The directors make some entertaining movies, that's for sure!
- jace.m3February 4, 2026Fun ride but I wouldn’t watch again. I also think they should’ve brought the dad in more.
- Nick M.January 12, 2026Boss movie. Easily rewatchable.
- AerwinPlexDecember 25, 2025Very slow paced with little to no pay off or depth to any characters or plot
- CallumNovember 19, 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Abigail — “Fangs out, fun unleashed.” “Abigail” is exactly the kind of horror film I adore: bloody, chaotic, stylish, and absolutely unapologetic about what it is. Yes, the setup takes a moment to get going — but once it bites, it locks on. What starts as a standard heist-gone-wrong premise quickly mutates into a full-blown vampire rampage, and the shift is so satisfying that the slow build feels almost deliberate, like the last deep breath before diving headfirst into carnage. The film strikes a slick balance between horror and dark humour, never drifting too far into camp but still letting the audience have fun with just how over the top some of the sequences get. It’s self-aware in the best way — not winking at the camera, just confidently sprinting into its own madness. The action is bone-crunching, the visuals are sharp, and the vampire element isn’t watered down for mass appeal. Fangs, blood, brutality — all accounted for. It reminded me a little of M3GAN in its energy: chaotic, stylish, and just a bit longer than it needs to be depending on your attention span, but absolutely worth the ride. And beneath the gore and carnage, there’s a surprisingly solid story holding it all together, with characters that actually land and moments that hit harder than expected. If you’re a horror fan, this is a no-brainer. It’s vicious, fun, and beautifully filmed — an A-grade entry in modern vampire cinema. Drink pairing: 🍷 A glass of deep, dark red shiraz — bold, sharp, dramatic, and just a touch decadent… exactly the mood this film sinks its teeth into.
- MrReclusiveNovember 18, 2025As some one who has avoided anything vampire related since vampires became sparkly little bitches. I went into this not knowing it was vampire related. But this was sooo good. Again, going into this not know it was a vampire movie probably helped, the reveal is part of the fun. As long as you don't go into this expecting anything serious or groundbreaking, it is a fun ride, and that first vampire death, very surprising. didn't realize taking that old school fade to ash and turning it into an explosion of blood was something I wanted, but yeah.. I want that in all future vampire movies now. and please, more stories in this universe.
