What to expect from Abigail?
“Children can be such monsters. After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight,” the official synopsis reads. “In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.”
Abigail hails from the Radio Silence team consisting of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream VI). Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the horror comedy stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Alisha Weir, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, and Giancarlo Esposito. It is produced by William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tripp Vinson, and Chad Villella, with Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher executive producing.
