Abigail (2024)
Children can be such monsters…
Abigail follows a group of would-be criminals who 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. But as the captors start to dwindle one by one, they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.
“Tossing a malicious vampire kid among squabbling, not-exactly-un-dangerous humans is a recipe for a wickedly enjoyable thrill ride,” says Empire Magazine, calling it, “One of the messiest vampire movies ever made, and winningly so.”
A #1 box office hit with an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Abigail was nominated for five Fangoria Chainsaw Awards last year, including Best Wide-Release Film, with rising child star Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical), Critics Choice Super Award nominee Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Freaky), and Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) all nominated for Best Supporting Performance. It’s also up for Best Horror at The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films’ 2025 Saturn Awards, where Weir is up for Best Younger Actor – a category she also cracked a Critics Choice Awards nomination for.
