Why it’s HorroRated
Abigail is Radio Silence making good on the promise of the Scream sequels: a horror comedy with real craft, a strong central performance from Alisha Weir, and the formal confidence to balance the tonal registers throughout. The vampire mythology is treated with exactly the right level of seriousness and the ensemble around Weir earns its place completely. A blast from start to finish.
Synopsis
Radio Silence's vampire film balances horror comedy and action with the same confidence they brought to the Scream sequels. The vampire mythology is treated with exactly the right level of seriousness and Alisha Weir's Abigail is the film's central performance. A blast from start to finish.
