Those who liked it seem to really, really like it.

Positive;

With an insane commitment to arterial spray and an enthusiastic ensemble, Abigail winds up another crowd-pleaser from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett. It's a bloody blast.


A blood-soaked bonkers good time. A clever spin on the vampire genre filled with loads of wild set pieces and gore, further fueled by a perfectly cast electric ensemble.


Abigail is a fun, bloody ride. It also has the most lovable ensemble of morally grey characters this year. The film introduces a new favorite monster into the genre and gives her room to take the biggest swings possible. I lived!


An absolutely insane, bloody, campy, gore filled fun fest. Probably the best time at the movies this entire year. See it in a packed theater!


Radio Silence have proven themselves as one of the most exciting, and crucially, fun, voices in the horror genre and Abigail takes this to the next level.


In what may become one of the greatest vampire movies of all time, Abigail provides an extremely bloody, fun, humorous & fresh take on the subgenre.


Abigail brought everything I want in a vampire flick: great characters, big laughs, and gallons of blood. Alisha Weir is a blast to watch as she plays with her food in Radio Silence's best and most fun movie yet.


"Abigail" sets the bar as the most fun you can have with a horror movie of the year. In other words, "Abigail" is horror on point.

Mixed;

There are points of Abigail that feel very much like paint-by-numbers horror, filled with exposition dumps that effectively took me out of the gooey, bloody narrative in their need to cut tension.



Negative;

It’s not badly made, just uninspired and played out.


A “Ready or Not” redux running on half the steam, this one-location misfire has plenty of parts that work but its namesake isn’t among them.
