A group of aspiring criminals embarks on a perilous journey when they kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a formidable underworld figure. Their objective: to secure a hefty $50 million ransom. The catch? They must watch over the girl overnight. Secluded in an isolated mansion, the captors soon realize that their numbers are dwindling, and the horror intensifies as they discover they are locked inside with a far-from-normal little girl.
From the accomplished directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known for their work on modern horror hits like “Ready or Not,” 2022’s “Scream,” and last year’s “Scream VI,” comes a bold and blood-thirsty reimagination of the vampire genre. The screenplay, crafted by Stephen Shields (“The Hole in the Ground,” “Zombie Bashers“) and Guy Busick (“Scream” franchise, “Ready or Not“), promises a unique and terrifying vision.
“Abigail” features an exceptional cast, including Melissa Barrera (“Scream” franchise, “In the Heights”), Dan Stevens (“Gaslit,” “Legion”), Kathryn Newton (“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Freaky”), William Catlett (“Black Lightning,” “True Story”), Kevin Durand (“Resident Evil: Retribution,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”), and Angus Cloud (“Euphoria,” “North Hollywood”) as the kidnappers, with Alisha Weir (“Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical,” “Darklands”) portraying the titular character, Abigail.
Produced by William Sherak (“Scream” franchise, “Ready or Not”), Paul Neinstein (“Scream” franchise; executive producer, “The Night Agent”), and James Vanderbilt (“Zodiac,” “Scream” franchise) for Project X Entertainment, along with Tripp Vinson (“Ready or Not,” “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island”) and Radio Silence’s Chad Vilella (executive producer of “Ready or Not” and “Scream” franchise), “Abigail” promises to be a hair-raising experience. Executive producers Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher ensure that the film is in capable hands.
