By Bradley On Jan 11, 2024

The masterminds behind the resurgence of Wes Craven’s Scream franchise have unleashed a new trailer for their latest original horror film from Universal Studios, Abigail, set to hit theaters this spring. Judging from the trailer, it’ll be a wild, bloody ride, pitting serial kidnappers against a vampire ballerina. Yes, you read that right.

The film stars Scream veteran Melissa Barrera as a kidnapper who abducts the twelve year old daughter of a powerful underworld figure to collect a $50 million ransom. Locked in an isolated mansion, the kidnappers realize that they’re trapped with no ordinary little girl.

Also starring Kathryn Newton (Freaky), Dan Stevens (Legion), Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian), William Catlett (True Story), Kevin Durand (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Alisha Weir (Darklands) and one of the final film roles for the late Angus Cloud (Euphoria), the film is directed by filmmaking collective Radio Silence AKA Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and written by Stephen Shields (The Hole in the Ground) and Guy Busick (Ready or Not).

Abigail hits theaters on April 19. Check out the trailer below and let us know your thoughts!
