The spring movie season has begun, and one of its big tentpoles is Universal’s upcoming Abigail. Though the movie isn’t out for two weeks, a screening was held on Saturday night at the Overlook Film Festival. And if you were worried that this was going to be a dud or suck, you apparently don’t need to worry, because the buzz appears to be that we’re in for a bloody good time later this month.
It’s good to hear Abigail’s got the goods—the premise sounded wickedly fun, and it goes to show that Universal’s really onto something by just doing whatever the hell it wants with its stable of Universal Monsters. Plus, any movie that has a ballerina vampire go on a rampage and dance with a headless corpse is obligated to live up to that incredibly bonkers visual that closes out the trailer.
Abigail comes out on April 19
