31 Days of Horror films. 9/31

Oct 10, 2024 11:07 PM

Continuing my Spooky Season horror film watch for every day of October. I'm going to try to see things I've missed over the years but will probably see a few classics and personal favorites along the way.

Last night's film was Abigail (2024) available on Peacock, the usual streaming rental locations, and physical media.

Abigail (2024) basic plot description: A team of six criminals is put together to kidnap a 12 year old girl and hold her for a $50 million ransom. They quickly find out that they are dealing with more than they expected when she turns out to be a vampire.

This is simply a fun vampire film. It has a great cast that play off of one another well, plenty of bloody action, more than a few twists and turns in the story, and fantastic practical make up and effects.

For my meaningless rating, I give it a pinky promise.

Try "Freaks" from 1932. Truly creepy.

Abigail is basically a horror comedy, making fun of some tropes, too.

This movie would have been way better had the twist not been front and center of the marketing. The audience clearly wasn’t meant to know the girl was a vampire until the 2nd act. Dan Stevens makes it though.

Tiny octopus enjoyed this movie. The young actress who played Abigail has a bright future ahead of her as a creepy horror movie Last girl
