Abigail Reviews (original) (raw)

Summary 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 n...

Traditionally, films that are this delightfully raucous, bloody (and I mean BLOODY), and silly are relegated to B-movie schlock (not a bad thing, for the record), but "Abigail" still embraces the excessive and ornate gothic aesthetics of classic horror movies. The result is an old-school vampire movie with modern frisk and flair and an absolute blast of a movie to watch with a crowd.

It knows its audience and doesn’t waste time. It also heightens the fun with elaborate practical effects, rather than blitzing us with eye-tiring CGI any more than it must.

The gore the acting the hurmor the story and little twist that you don't expect. The fight scenes the story of how people can be blinded by money without realizing what they are getting themselves into

Abigail was amazing!!! Required characters: go s go r of ri d ri da to da o da oao

While there’s plenty to be said about Abigail’s impressively over-the-top scarlet mean streak, the hellride that the filmmakers take us on is all the more effective for the character groundwork laid prior.

Most important: The volume of bloodletting is undeniably impressive and frequently explosive, and the filmmakers effectively employ a lot of creepy remixes of the “Swan Lake” theme.

Abigail is at times a bit too flippant, over-the-top and even protracted in its ridiculous Grand Guignol of exploding “meat sacks,” but it’s very much in line with the unique Radio Silence sensibility, en vogue with audiences right now.

It’s not badly made, just uninspired and played out. If you like B-movies made with a budget and are specifically looking for an undemanding time, “Abigail” might be for you. “Abigail” might also disappoint you, especially if you’re hoping for more than what’s advertised.

The only inspired part of “Abigail” is the performance of Weir, a 14-year-old Irish actress best known as the title character in Netflix’s “Matilda the Musical.” She brings verve and joy to her vampire ballerina, dancing circles around the rest of the cast.

muito bom ,do começo ao fim ,melhor filme de todos

It's an enjoyable enough horror movie even though pretty predictable and I didn't even watch a trailer or know anything about it besides being a horror film going into it.

Why did they have to reveal the twist in the trailers, so unnecessary. Felt a little too similar to Ready or Not, especially in the setting and design. But the gore and kills were great even if the final payoff isn't that great.

Man, horror like this is so boring. It looks like a kids' movie. And... wtf elon musk is doing here?

This movie bad. The characters Were all written to have poor intellect. The writing is bad. The holes in the plot are numerous
