If you always thought your garden-variety heist movies could do with a bit more blood-sucking vampire, have we got a flick for you. “Abigail,” featuring a 12-year-old tutu-wearing member of the undead, is way better than it should be, a gleeful genre-smashing romp through puddles of gore, says Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy.

The six — representing the muscle, sniper, computer expert, getaway driver, medic etc — are hired to kidnap a rich preteen and hold her for ransom. The rules are: No names. No backstory. No grabass, which is a weird request, if we’re being honest. All this group needs to do is detain the target for 24 hours until rich dad pays $50 million in ransom.
The script written by Stephen Shields and regular Radio Silence collaborator Guy Busick — gleefully mines humor in the horror. Laughing a moment after a body fully explodes is normal here. Garlic, sunlight, spears and crucifixes are employed to try to stop Abigail, who has hijacked the heist movie and turned it into a run-for-your-life thriller. She’s a very smart 12-year-old who turns hardened mercenaries against each other.
