Is Abigail a major win for directors Radio Silence and star Melissa Barrera?
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett Silence have been taking progressively bigger steps towards rightly being called two of the top horror filmmakers working in the business. After breaking into the genre with other up-and-coming horror directors with the V/H/S anthology series, Radio Silence scored a big cult-hit with their film Ready or Not, which led to a big franchise opportunity and success with 2022's Scream and last year's Scream VI.
The story of Abigail finds a group of anonymous criminals forming a crew for a high-stakes job: kidnapping the daughter of a powerful man and holding her for ransom. The kidnapping is pulled off flawlessly, but when the crew gets to the safe house to wait for the ransom, things take a dire turn. Crew members start turning up dead and the surviving members start turning on each other. Theories fly that an assassin has infiltrated the operation and is possibly posing as one of the crew.
Abigail is arguably the strongest cast yet that Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett have pulled together. Melissa Barrera once again proves to be a smart choice for a Final Girl lead, with her character"Joey" being a nicely layered, complex, and interesting role to center the story around. Dan Stevens brings along some of that recent Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire scene-chewing mania to his role as Frank, and he and Barrera are a dynamic pair onscreen as leads.
