10 Most Exciting Original Horror Movies Still To Come In 2024
8. Abigail
In this horror-comedy, thugs kidnap the ballet-loving Abigail, the daughter of a nefarious crime lord. After taking her to an empty mansion, the abductors discover the seemingly innocent child is actually an amped-up bloodsucker, and not only do the criminals have to survive the night, they also have to keep Abigail alive to collect the ransom.
A nutty premise it may be, but the project looks like it's in safe hands. Based on the positive reception of the Scream legacy sequels and Ready Or Not, it's clear Matt Bettinelli-Olphin and Tyler Gillet have perfected tongue-in-cheek horror. As a result, these guys seem like the perfect pair to helm a story involving a tutu-wearing vampire pirouetting around in her ballet shoes while gorging on her victims' blood.
The film boasts an astounding cast, including Matthew Goode, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Giancarlo Esposito, and the late Angus McCloud. To top it all off, Matilda's Alisha Weir will be portraying the titular role.
Although the concept is comical, the disturbing images seen in the trailer proves Abigail will be a horror film above all else.
