Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) is the directing team behind Ready or Not and the last two Scream films, and they have one new horror movie that puts a twist on the classic genre.
Check out the trailer for Abigail starring Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Clous, and Alisha Weir:
The official description of the story reads:
Children can be such monsters.
After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.
If you’ve watched anything from Radio Silence before, you’ll know that they usually put an interesting twist to any established genre, and it looks like they’re going to be poking fun at vampires now. Though a lot of Abigail does seem pretty horrific, we can see some of the comedy elements actually shine a little in some of the dialogue.
I guess it’s just odd to watch the girl from Netflix’s Matilda actually be a killer vampire now. With her being all catty and loving to dance, I have a feeling that Abigail is going to be the next gay horror icon besides M3GAN.
Catch Abigail when it comes into theaters this April 19.
