Abigail Score Details “Abigail is a gloriously gory movie that doesn't pack as much of a punch as Ready or Not, but is more than enough fun on its own.

Abigail Score Details “ Abigail is a gloriously gory movie that doesn't pack as much of a punch as Ready or Not, but is more than enough fun on its own.” Pros Cons In their first foray out of the world of franchise filmmaking in five years, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have delivered Abigail .

Penned by Stephen Shields and Ready or Not co-writer Guy Busick, Abigail sees Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett return to the world of single-location horror. Its prologue follows Joey , who’s both a recovering addict with a sweet tooth and an absent mother with a guilty conscience, as she meets up with Frank , Sammy , Rickles , Peter , and Dean , the other members of a criminal crew assembled to kidnap Abigail Lazar , the young ballerina daughter of the powerful Kristof Lazar .

Related Dean’s relaxed attitude toward the whole situation, which Cloud effortlessly portrays, allows space for a few light jokes throughout Abigail‘s first third, but it’s only after Joey and company have realized that there’s much more to their pre-adolescent prisoner than meets the eye that the film goes careening into the realm of full-blown, screwball horror comedy.

The directors make the most out of Abigail‘s primary location, a spooky countryside mansion that turns out to have more than a few horrors hidden beneath its grand exterior. The film itself isn’t quite as stomach-churningly intense as its makers’ two Scream movies, but it does boast moments of grotesque, gothic beauty, like one character’s macabre midpoint dance with a headless body.
