SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Melissa Barrera's horror movie success streak continues with Abigail. Since making the leap to Hollywood with the Starz drama Vida, Barrera has enjoyed a steady rise through the industry thanks in large part to her role as Sam Carpenter in 2022's Scream and its sequel, Scream VI.
In honor of the movie's digital release, Screen Rant interviewed Melissa Barrera for Abigail, how her experience with the horror movie compared to the Scream sequels, the intentional ambiguity of its ending and scrapped alternate ending, a potential sequel, and her ongoing friendship with star Jenna Ortega.
I couldn't believe that I got to be in a movie with all of them, because I was already a fan of all of them from their previous works, but just seeing them in action, and all the little quirks and little ideas that they had for their characters that were so surprising. I think that's what differentiates a good actor from a great one, where sometimes when you read a script, you can kind of tell what it's going to be like on set.
The action sequences in the movie were one of the biggest differences Barrera saw between her experience with the Scream franchise, citing her work with the stunt team on Abigail as another reason why she hopes to star in an action-focused movie in the future: In the movie's final moments, Joey gets in the van the group drove to the mansion in, looking at her phone and smiling as she puts it to her ear, seemingly indicating that she received a voicemail from her son after leaving him an emotional message before the fight, only to then put the phone down and start the van.
She does, however, have one hopeful thought about reteaming with Radio Silence in the future, as she expresses her desire to work with Ready or Not star Samara Weaving in a proper capacity after not sharing any screen time in Scream VI:
