When I got used to the lives of vampires in the Twilight movie series and started to find them sympathetic, I thought I could get used to the dancing vampire figure...
...but not after watching the 2024 movie Abigail! First of all, I would like to say that the movie successfully handled and reflected the thriller-horror genre. For the story of the movie, I can say that it is the kind where the prey and the predator switch places. It's fun to watch this kind of story and to see the logic of chase and flight working in reverse.
A group of criminals with a dark past kidnap a 12-year-old ballerina named Abigail (played by Alisha Weir) and imprison her in a house for 24 hours. Up to this point, the movie is an adventure and a simple ransom case. One of the first questions that comes to mind is, how hard can it be to hold a 12-year-old girl for a short time?
The answer to that question is hidden in the rest of the movie, and the rest of the movie takes place after the prey and the predator switch places, as the tension blends with fear and turns into a struggle for survival in a house that is closed on all sides.
In terms of viewing pleasure, the movie was quite successful. The shifting elements in the story are important in this because after the kidnapping of the girl; first the sense of curiosity is triggered, then the prey and the hunter are switched and a tremendous story flow is achieved. The pace of the story and the change in the roles of the characters make for excellent viewing pleasure.
What I liked the most about the movie was the way the plot, which takes place in a limited and confined space, was reflected. Until the very end you have no idea how the movie will end, or rather you have ideas but none of them come true. The movie had an unexpected and very unpredictable ending. This shows the success of the script.
My favorite scene was the opening scene of the movie. The movie starts with the ballet dance of the character Abigail, and the scene in question gives the main character an incredible innocence and purity. After a while, Abigail's character evolves and takes on a completely different role, which was the biggest mystery of the story. I love to see such twists in the story or at the end of the movie.
Alisha Weir, who plays the character of Abigail, was the most outstanding actress performance. Alisha Weir single-handedly kept the movie gripping with her dual character reflection. I include the final scene because she perfectly reflected the ebb and flow of her character.
Abigail is one of the best thriller-horror movies I have seen recently and I highly recommend you to watch it. The story progression, the script and the performances of the actors were very successful. The only criticism I can make about the movie is that at the moments when the level of fear was high, the level of fear was lowered with some jokes between the characters. The horror level of the movie dropped because of a few laugh-out-loud dialogues that I personally found unnecessary.
Thank you very much for being here and reading. I wish everyone who will watch the movie a good time. See you in my next article, goodbye!
