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.

Report
Amazing movie flick ,it brings all types of category of emotions through the film, coming to this film my expectations were medium reaction but no overall best movie I seen in awhile recommend anyone to come watch this film hoping to see prequel or sequel down the line

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.
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.

Unfortuantely this film is a prime example of bought reviews if you have ever seen any late nineties early two thousands horror film like Dracula 2000, Blade, John Carpenters Vampires, The Forgotten or Thirteen Ghosts you’ve seen this movie and while those were all objectively bad movies they all carried their own charm and somewhat unique identities while this feels so corporate and wooden it’s a complete shame that companies can manipulate critic reviews to this extent the beginning of the movie moves at a complete snails pace before a completely non sensical ending where the majority of the cast is swapping back and forth becoming hero or villain seemingly at random while Alisha Weir does a spectacular job even though the entire story is devoid of any real personality or identity and Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens try but seem to both give up completely by the end the remainder of the cast is just there truly disappointing an extremely promising concept that turned out to be a mash up of several old tacky and far better horror films while this one cannot even muster up one solid moment of fright or tension
Report
There's basically a new suspense film opening every weekend, but most of them are variations on the same dull themes. This is a combination of evil child and people trapped in a mansion with a mad killer. Alisha Weir plays a young ballerina who is kidnapped by a gang of thugs. Turns out she's actually a vampire, which leads to bloody murders. This is completely pretty predictable and never frightening or even funny in a tongue-in cheek sort of way…just a lot of blood, which is expected for vampires. Dan Stevens does have a fun turn as the gang leader, but this remains another quickly forgotten non-thriller.
