하지만 얼마 지나지 않아 딘(앵거스 클라우스)이 누군가에 의해 잔인하게 살해되는 일이 벌어진다. 크게 잘못된 일임을 눈치채 탈출을 시도하지만 납치범들은 저택 안에 갇히고야 만다.

The movie <Abigail> raises the stakes with the unexpected charm of ‘Abigail’, a vampire with the face of a girl. Abigail is set to be the daughter of a vampire with the appearance of a child, like Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) in Interview with the Vampire. In the beginning, it shows a pitiful girl with a face wet with tears, but from the middle, the menacing appearance of a vampire covered in blood provides a different kind of fun. Vampires who threaten with ballet movements that have never been seen before are unexpectedly entertaining. It twists the typicality of what happens to a person bitten by a vampire, creating something new. At the end of the elegant dance moves to the music of Swan Lake, limbs are torn and torn, further increasing the grotesque atmosphere of the B-grade genre. With the occasional bursts of comedy and action added, the unique combination of the hard-boiled genre and the horror genre feels good.  | | ▲ 영화 <애비게일> 스틸컷 | | ⓒ 유니버설픽쳐스인터내셔널 코리아 |
It is a killing time movie that follows the balance of exciting thrills and strength control to survive in a limited space with a room escape or haunted house concept. Although it is a somewhat unexpected setting, it maintains a clear genre color and tenaciously pushes through to the end. It is a hybrid of genres, just like the characteristics of genres that have changed since the sequel to <Pamyo>. The hemoglobin rampage, consistent with blood, turns into a definite B-level horror and slasher genre. It stands out as a clever genre change disguised as a horror film, breaking down the prejudice that people thought it was a crime film.
The aim is to entertain the audience with A-level actors and B-level concepts. Although the story may lack some solidity or plausibility, the unique atmosphere and subject matter are attractive. Movies with a similar atmosphere include <Megan> and <Renfield>. The fear of Megan, an AI that causes an uncanny valley, and the hierarchical relationship between Renfield, a henchman who signed a life-long contract with a vampire, come to mind. A passionate performance by an actor who does not hesitate  | | ▲ 영화 <애비게일> 스틸컷 | | ⓒ 유니버설픽쳐스인터내셔널 코리아 |
Alicia Weir, who plays the role of a ballerina vampire, has a delicate appearance, but her strong acting takes the center stage without being pushed aside by the force of an adult actor. She is a noteworthy next-generation actress who played the role of Matilda in the Netflix movie <Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical> and masterfully performed the triple act of singing, dancing, and acting. In addition, 'Catherine Newton', who plays Sammy, a hacker with a silver spoon but who immaturely jumps into the kidnapping case, stands out as her lively tone and actions are highly addictive.
In addition, the unstoppable performance of 'Melissa Bareva', who successfully completed the musical film 'In the Heights' and is aiming to become the new horror queen with 'Scream 6', and 'Dan Stevens', who is willing to break down regardless of genre, stands out. In addition, it meets the expectations of horror enthusiasts as a new work from the horror production company 'Radio Silence Production', which heralds the second Blumhouse, known as the famous horror house. |
