Synopsis:

After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

Under all the viscera and bloodshed of the horror-comedy Abigail, there hides a redemption story. A mother becomes the parent she couldn’t be to her own child, and a daughter receives the care and protection she never found at home. Such pathos stand out in a movie like this, but never detract from the thrills – or the fact that the mother is part of a motley crew of kidnappers, and the daughter is a vampire in a tutu.

With enough killer one-liners to awaken even the most dormant sense of humor, the newest film from Scream VI directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett combines the themes of the Hotel Transylvania movies, the mechanics of a slasher flick, and the setup of a “one last job” crime thriller. It’s similar enough in tone, setting, and structure to be a spiritual sequel to Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s Ready or Not, offering an even wilder take on the cat-and-mouse ultraviolence of that sleeper hit set in a swanky old house.
