Abigail is absolutely a horror comedy. Personally I found it moreso funny than scary. The dialog had me in stitches.

Good luck with that idea lol

Like I said in my comment on here... I was bummed they spoiled this hook cause after seeing the movie it was done well where it would have been a good mystery for a chunk of the movie... however 0 chance I see this in theaters w/o knowing the hook. Cause a generic "Kidnappers get more than they bargained for" movie isn't something that interests me.

[@ndogg20]

@@Grimbear13 , I left the same comment above. But it still could have been marketed as bloody horror suspense with the right preview that shows everything EXCEPT the vampire girl. The one scene with the girl swimming across a pool of dead bodies alone would have spiked my interest. Just laziness and a lack of creativity from the marketing team.

[@Grimbear13]

@@ndogg20 Possibly, I'm not sure that would have been enough to make it a must see in theaters for me personally. Because the hook of the ballerina vampire is definitely what put it over for me. Guess we'll never know cause we don't have the other trailer and a time machine to see how I'd feel lol.

Alisha Weir is a little badass in this movie. & Kathy Newton continues her streak of being perfect casting in every genre film she’s in.

[@OrionInSpace]

If there are people saying “Hollywood doesn’t put out good movies” or “Hollywood doesn’t put out original stuff” then I hate to wonder if these people actually care about what they say or are just engagement farming. Lots of good things get made, the problem is is that people focus way too much on the stuff that is bad and make that the crux of why they say that nothing good gets made.

I try to go into most films I see without watching a trailer, and it's films like this where it really pays off. I doubt the film would have been bad knowing 'the thing', but it made it so much better as a first watch having no idea what the film was about. Overall the film in general was an absolute blast as well!

God, I wish I haven't watched the trailer. Hell, even if I tried to avoid it, the trailers are basically autoplaying themselves in social media nowadays. The talent behind it and your spoiler-free recommendation would've been enough for me to go watch it! Anyway, great video as always, Dan!

I 99% of the time always agree with your recommendations and I really wish I could go see this movie in theaters without knowing anything, but the reality of it is that tickets are so expensive and all of the bills I can only afford movie tickets for movies.

I enjoyed your review, because though I like vampire stories in literature, I don't like them in film and I don't watch horror, so your review was like a PG version of the story. The concept is very fascinating.

Unfortunately the end was spoiled for me. I didn't like where it went. From a predictable plot to leaving it open for a sequel.

[@bankingonmoney8224]

I know many who use to attend movies at theater pre covid. In today's world, high inflation and short turnaround time to stream with a much cheaper price. They now just wait until they come to streaming service. I'm in that camp as well.

[@samd2013]

Did you end up watching it yet?

[@AgentMoray]

I saw it on preview, it was absolutely great :)

[@zirconic9]

I just saw Ministry and came out of the theater thinking "Eh... it's fine..." And now Dan seconds that. For a movie with lots of shooting and explosions, it felt kinda slow. They could have chopped 15-20 minutes out of it and it would have been a lot more exciting.

[@LEOIAMLEOONYOUTUBE]

The first 35 to 50 minutes of the "Ungentlemanly Warfare" movie was fine, but then, the rest of the movie felt like a struggle to get through. Not worth the money.

[@zirconic9]

@@LEOIAMLEOONKZbin Watching the start, you could instantly see that they had a problem. They did the cliche of opening with an action scene (a very slow action scene), and then jumping back to a few days earlier to explain "This is how it all started." My guess is that the movie originally started with him putting together a team, but they realized they needed some action up front and shifted the scenes around. But it starts low-energy and then slows down.

[@joelanthonylim6792]

Yeah same thoughts, Ritchie shines when things go balls to the wall and I think it could've gone crazy. Not like King Arthur crazy but Gentleman and Man from UNCLE were decent in balancing the slow moments with action. I think it lacked the "big moment" Ritchie's movies are memorable for.

[@zirconic9]

@@joelanthonylim6792 I have not seen many of his movies and so I don't know them well. But "Ministry" seemed like a director who was too caught up in his own style and lost the plot (there is a cruder way to put that, but you get it). For example, Henry Cavill's character has a silenced rifle and a nonchalant shooting stance, so he just walks along, silently shooting Nazis as they pop up. This is amusing the first few times it happens, but then he keeps on doing it for many long minutes. The joke goes from mildly funny to tedious. Ritchie needed somebody to tell him that he needed to cut a lot of that and move the story along faster. I also didn't find the humor all that funny. A lot of the jokes made me smile slightly, but then immediately think "That should have been funnier." It's not a bad film, but the trailer made it look like a romp, and instead it was a stroll.

[@rodneycooperjr3223]

I cut the video after the opening salvo. I'll be back after I see the movie. Things like this is what AMC A-List was made for 😎

[@rodneycooperjr3223]

Update: A few minutes into the movie, I realized that I've already seen the trailers for this movie. That said, the trailer did give away the twist, but more than that, it made a promise. The movie itself delivered on the promise 🙂

[@egoborder3203]

I think we'll all remember Spring 2024 for its quality horror. I was skeptical at first because horror in the first months of the year tends to be awful, but the studios really bucked that trend!

[@yoshimasu_k]

I was totally bummed by how much the trailer revealed, but Radio Silence movies have consistently been more about enjoyable characters (even The Core Four, I don't care what the haters say 😆) and great execution. Also, I agree that they need to retire the mansion setting - an apartment complex or corporate building could be interesting (a la The Raid or Mayhem).

[@midniteoilfilms]

Just saw it today with my nieces. They're the only other horror lovers in my family, and we all loved it. Definitely saw some Radio Silence aesthetics, i.e. the "Blood Pops." Some of which had me laughing as much I was horrified. There is a nice surprise at the end too. 7/10.

[@CJKhaos]

I saw the trailer going in, so knew the twist but that did not affect my enjoyment of this film. Alisha Weir, Dan Steven’s and Melissa Barrera were all standouts.

[@SuperFlik]

I'm aware of the Abigail reveal and still interested in seeing it, though I may do Ungentlemanly Warefare first as I'd say I'm more of a Henry Cavill fan than a horror fan

[@GreatAurelius2]

I had no intention on seeing Abigail, but because of reviews like yours and a couple others I went and saw it tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and this is why I watch reviews for movies I don’t have any interest in, to find the occasional hidden gem. If Abigail doesn’t make my top 5 for the year we will have a fantastic year of movies.

[@cheriluzvillanueva]

I believe it's a setup that Abigail made to recruit Joey as her next Vampire guardian, as Lambert was tired of being an immortal and wanted to retire. So everything was setup this way to introduce to Joey what a true vampire is, and that they also keep their word. Vampires are old people who values loyalty and honor even when they are brutal, this is what they seek for a companion, it is hard to find. Even tho they have all the money and power, loyalty cannot be bought. So Abigail keeps looking for someone who is an overcomer like Joey, someone who keeps their word, and because she had a history of overcoming addiction she is unique and can't be glamoured or controlled by any vampire. She is of great value to the child vampire and is specifically chosen for this test because of her profile, a nurturing mother, an ex-addict, overcoming obstacles to go back to her child. She is exactly as Abigail wants as a pseudo mother. I think Abigail set this whole thing up as she is a master of deceit, she was never in danger to begin with. A very old vampire like that survived that long for their cunning and not merely for their power. If they are ever making a 2nd movie this is how I see this whole thing... Just a thought. I could be wrong.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

I love that horror as a genre has more mainstream acceptance even if it doesn't get recognised at award shows like everything else. This cast is impressive for its variety of character actors as well as more well known types like Kathryn Newton and Giancarlo Esposito. Dan Stevens seems to be everywhere. If you haven't seen 'Legion' I'd recommend for his performance as well as an incredible turn by Aubrey Plaza in season 1.

[@UnboxingAlyss]

I really cannot agree more with this review. The movie was fun, the characters were great and the gore was awesome (Radio Silence REALLY likes making people explode.....). I think I like Ready or NOt a bit better, but Abigail was still great! I'm completely in agreement with your take on the marketing. This was the one thing I DIDN't like about RoN. The trailer gave away 2 of the kills and that sucked. beyond that, fantastic movie. Like you, Jeremy Jahns, and Chris Stuckman, I do wish they has left the vampire angle as a surprise. That would have been far more rewarding. This was my take on The Last Voyage of the Demeter as well. I'm not sure how they would have marketed it (Barbarian was able to do it, though), but I think it would have been far more enjoyable. I'm also sick and tired of people bitching that there are "no good movies" anymore. There are PLENTY, especially in the horror/thriller genres. Not just those, but movies like Monkey Man and Civil War were great movies. They aren't sequels, requels, or spinoffs. They are original concepts and they worked really well. A lot of these great movies are made by smaller studios and lesser-known, or fledgeling directors and I wish more people would give them a chance.

[@itfactor7572]

I’m glad I stayed away from trailer before going to watch it yesterday. It was a really good movie.

[@KingVoldemort96]

I saw Abigail this week without fully knowing the plot - I saw like 15 secs of a trailer and assumed it was about a demonic/evil possessed girl. So for her to turn out to be a vampire was a pleasant surprise. Super duper early on, I clocked that the 24 hours / kidnapping was trap when Angus Cloud’s character sees a piece of artwork with what appears to be Abigail. And further clocked on that Giancalo’s character was in on it; when I remembered when he took their phones to ensure they won’t be tracked to the house?? Even tho they had travelled and were all ready at said location. good time all round.

[@nallainductions]

I have a feeling that the Catlett character was supposed to be bigger in the film but by the time filming came along his role was reduced to give Durand's character more screen time. Catlett's character was the only one whose backstory was not fleshed out, he had a romantic connection with Barrera's character, and his rifle went missing and was never heard of again. I really think he had more of a part in the movie until a certain point.

[@MrTimetravellers]

Just seen it...think Hitchcock's mcuffin He often put the audience in a position of knowledge that the characters knew nothing about. Sure it might be better not to know, but I think it makes much differemce here. Because its all about guessing if it becomes the last girl standing or something else. No real surprises, just a fun ride with a great script. Best vampire movie since Near Dark and thats going over 20 years plus. I would give it a solid 4 stars.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

I was actually thinking of 'From Dusk Till Dawn' regarding the trailer. I so wish I hadn't seen it before the movie because that would have been an incredible experience if I didn't know what happens around the halfway point. I've thought about this and if you read this and have time I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you would sell 'Abigail', 'From Dusk Till Dawn' or both to an audience without giving the turn away while ensuring that the people who would enjoy what the film becomes still come out to see it without knowing it.

I wish I hadn’t seen the trailer I would of been in just seeing Radio Silence being attached to the project but for the general audience you need to get people to the theater so I understand why marketing had to reveal that she was the threat, I thought the reveal was going to be… well revealed in the first 15-20 mins of the movie but it wasn’t. It took its time, I wish they would’ve used earlier footage of the movie and based the trailer off the first 40 mins or so. I really dug this movie, and I feel like it will have so much rewatch ability in my household. A lot of similarities to Ready or Not, which isn’t a bad thing. Had a blast with this one.

[@TheFirefox]

Question for Dan: What’s with the recent trend towards more directing teams? It seems that in the “old days” it was pretty much just the Cohen Brothers and maybe the Wachowskis. But it seems every few years there’s a new up-and-coming team. Does it have to do with the increasing complexity of film projects, etc.? Or am I off base and this really isn’t any different from the past?

[@mk6rfc1]

Who else is there? Even with siblings guys like the Coens and the Safdies have gone solo, only of the Wachowski’s did the last Matrix, heck even Leitch & Stahelski only worked on one film before going seperate ways

A lack of imagination and creativity on the part of the marketing team, giving away the reveal, thus ruining the suspense of the first half of the film This film could have been advertised in the trailers with fast paced editing and music showing the blood and gore, the pool full of bodies and the kidnappers turning on each other, coming off as a combo horror/psychological suspense film. Done right it could fill those theater seats without giving away the main plot twist.

I wish I was able to see it blind as well. Knowing what the mid-movie twist was going in made the first 45 minutes drag.

[@nategreatgames78]

I gave it a shot after looking at its rotten tomato’s review scores. I saw it being described as a horror comedy and people using the word fun and lol, with so many twist and turns. It was a good movie but I wouldn’t describe it as a fun movie or I didn’t find it particularly humorous. It held my interest, I wasn’t bored, I think the cast did a solid job, the overall story was kinda meh on me. I went in knowing that there was going to be some people trapped in a house with a girl who had something menacing about her, but once I found out she was a vampire instead of like something more occult it kinda was a bit deflating as they characters didn’t seem as afraid vs something they couldn’t understand. A group of them going into her room and get their asses handed to them and going back downstairs in a I told you so moment made me groan a bit. The excess gore was a bit on the obnoxious side. But I don’t regret seeing it, it passed a couple hours for me, but will be one of those movies I likely won’t think of again much after seeing it.

[@brianng8350]

Spoiler talk…. Definitely like Ready Or Not, it would be nice if we were not aware of the vampire element or at least we did not know Abigail was the one. But they would have to change the name of the movie. But like Scream or Usual Suspects, I would not mind we do not know who the killer was until later in the movie. The movie played around one of the team members being the killer, but it was not played out too long. Overall, I like the cast, I enjoyed the first half more than second half.

[@jc42100]

[@TwinRiver100]

I agree this movie was a great time. I think the trailer house that cut the trailer for this movie did it a little bit of a disservice. I don't think I really could've gone into this movie blind without ever seeing a trailer. That's pretty much how i determine whether or not if its something that looks, fun, terrible or interesting as far as a movie goes. I've been seeing in some comments for a while maybe to do away with trailers all together...or maybe it was just to find a few approach that doesn't spoil the entire movie. For some movies and trailer houses that's easy. Other movies...not so much. You've still have the job of making sure it's able to sell the movie to the main demographics of people that you want to see your movie while not giving the full thing away. And leaving a bit of mystery and excitement or whatever other emotion you want to convey. I think the best i can say as far as a call to action with this post for what I'm suggesting and asking for...try to not give as much away for the movies that have a little more to hide or just stuff that should be hidden for when people see the movie themselves. As well as maybe try to get marketing to work with the filmmakers more (I'm not sure how much they do as of present) as far as how to cut and show in the trailers to get people enticed for their movies.

[@mattrose4154]

It was a cool experiment because I saw the trailer but I took my wife and she knew absolutely nothing about the movie. So we both went in from different perspectives. With that though, we both came out the same. Fun and gory movie but honestly, it was almost just like Ready or Not. People wandering a big weird house with a few quips and then bloody bodies exploding. Exactly like Ready or Not. Kinda bummed. But I like Radio Silence and everything they’ve done so saying it’s their worst movie is like saying “man this was the worst Oreo in this pack”

[@masteronionnorth2341]

Watching Abigail was a sheer delight. It was glorious mayhem and carnage. And it was also pretty funny as well. Theory time: Spoilers.... I think Abigail justifies what she does to her kidnappers along with.... Others, because they have bad intentions towards her. So... In her mind, she doesn't have to feel bad about what she does.

[@StaminaMC]

Dan, I'm an absolute wuss when it comes to horror… like, even 'Smile' was too much for me recently; I watched that whole film through my fingers and hated myself for it the entire time. How d'ya reckon I'll handle this? If blood is the only thing to make it 'horror' I'll be alright, but anything else and I crumble… 🥲

Not seen any marketing for this at all so I stopped when you recommended 👍 On booking tickets I see it is certificate 18 so I guess Abigail doesn’t talk her way out of the kidnap 😂 Looking forward to going in blind on your suggestion Wee double bill with Civil War

[@Grimbear13]

So as I watched the trailer for the 100th time in the theater I was wondering... was this movie shot knowing the premise would be shown in the trailer or not? Chris Stuckmann was the first to say it wasn't and that they did a good job hiding it in the movie, which bummed me out a bit... However... I also know myself... if they didn't put that bit in the trailer I wouldn't have seen this movie cause just a kidnapping and then shit goes wrong isn't that interesting to me... but what they showed... very interesting lol... so I'm torn on this one cause the marketing is 100% what got me to see it.

I would like to see your review of rebel moom scargiver. Its a bad movie, although better than the first part, but what I think it's the worst thing about it, is the ending... not gonna spoil it, but the ending made me feel angry and stupid for believing in their advertising

[@JDotWill]

There’s a way this movie could’ve been marketed without the multiple reveals in the trailer. I just don’t know if the marketing would’ve been interesting enough to draw an audience because it would probably come across as pretty generic.

[@Natak222]

Thoroughly enjoyed the movie, didn’t see anything but the poster which is what got me.

Came in blind and loved it

[@DoctorXander]

Would have loved to see it blind but the premise was what got me interested in the movie in the first place.

I think rather than worry about being ‘pidgeon wholed’ Radio Silence just need to focus on what they really want to do moving forward, considering they’ve already established something most spend entire careers trying to find, that special niche of their own. 🤔

I saw this preview in a theater, and it pretty much spoiled the whole movie, and you can blame marketing or whatever, but I have no interest in paying full price to watch it now. This one is going straight to streaming for me.
