The would-be kidnappers who find themselves trapped in a house with a child-sized vampire don’t seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed. In the latest trailer for Abigail, the group thinks they’ve trapped their future murderer in a cage, but soon find out that they’re the ones trapped, alive only because Abigail likes to play with her food.
The trailer also highlights a second fatal mistake the group makes. They split up! Have they ever, ever watched a horror movie?! Never split up! This decision—and I’m guessing here but I’m pretty sure I’m right—will likely result on more than one of them becoming a snack for the vampirena. (And based on the swamp of bodies we see decaying in the basement in this trailer, it also seems that this house is a place where Abigail regularly dines.)
Abigail stars Melissa Barrera (Scream, In the Heights), Dan Stevens (Godzilla x Kong, Legion), Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Freaky), William Catlett (Black Lightning, True Story), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Angus Cloud (Euphoria, North Hollywood) as the kidnappers, and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, Darklands) as Abigail. The first trailer for Abigail also gave us a glimpse of Giancarlo Esposito, who locks the group inside the house for imminent consumption.
The movie comes to us from Radio Silence, the group behind the latest Scream movies, and premieres in theaters on April 19, 2024.
