Spoiler Alert
Universal Studios Abigail is a return to form after a crazy last year of horror movies that have been hit-and-miss. Here, wannabe kidnappers grab a young teen and while tasked to watch over her until the ransom is met, little do they know just how much of a monster she is! Anyone who has seen the trailers knows a lot more about what’s going on than they do. Had they been familiar with Anne Rice’s book Interview with a Vampire, they’d know just how scary Claudia can get, but they’re none the wiser.
Instead, all they know is that she’s the daughter of a powerful gangster. She lives a rather privileged lifestyle, enjoying ballet and playing with her dolls. However, once when we see her offer a sinister grin, and only one member of this gang even offers a sense of guilt, what I got to see is scarier than Alien! Alisha Weir is awesome in the role, injecting enough innocence and pathos to make anyone cautious.
