Abigail (2024)
A darkly-comic kidnapping turns pulpy and suspenseful as criminals discover their ballerina hostage is a monster.
A group of criminals kidnap a teenage ballet dancer, the daughter of a notorious gang leader, in order to obtain a ransom of $50 million, but over time, they discover that she is not just an ordinary girl. After the kidnappers begin to diminish, one by one, they discover, to their increasing horror, that they are locked inside with no normal little girl.
How intense is Abigail?
Abigail is properly scary, with graphic gore and brutal violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and a late-night trip. The humor runs dark. Rated R.
