10 Best Vampire Movies Of The 2020s So Far

While it didn't surpass expectations at the box office, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's vampire horror Abigail did prove, once again, that the director duo know how to put together a genre movie that hits all the right buttons. 

The film opens on an elaborate kidnapping, in which a rag-tag team of rogues storm a mansion and abduct Abigail (Matilda's Alisha Weir) the 12-year-old daughter of a legendary underworld don, demanding a $50 million ransom for her safe return. However, once holed up in their hideaway, the group discover that all is most definitely not as it seems. The house is a prison. Their boss is nowhere to be found. And that little girl they abducted? She's a centuries-old vampire.

Turning a kidnapping crime thriller into Home Alone for the coffin crowd, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett unleash an onslaught of horrors as Abigail uses her new housemates for target practice, prancing around in her ballet dress, decapitating fools and working some lesser seen subordinate puppet powers. The main characters are colourful, the villain a phenomenal new take on the vampire nemesis (played far beyond her years by Weir) and the movie doesn't miss a step in its dance to a blood-drenched conclusion that will leave you gasping for a sequel
