It's funny you guys mentioned Ready or Not bc this movie was written and directed by the same team (same directors of Scream 6 as well) There is a sequel to Ready or Not in the works as well ✌️

[@CheGuevara-uf4pm]

The abigail actress is Matilda in the netflix Matilda remake , she a triple threat she can act , sing and dance

[@manuelkazanjian]

Hope u Guys Watch the movie “The Substance” You’re gonna love it! Very good message in it

[@Mightymick114]

The dad is rumoured to be Dracula

[@CheGuevara-uf4pm]

@Mightymick114 this is supposed to be a remake / updated version of Dracula daughter

[@dexanexa]

The movie was shot in Ireland of all places, and the young girl who plays Abigail is the only Irish actor in the movie. She killed it with her accent and performance.

[@minski76]

9:42 Nikki: "I wouldn't trust a kidnapper as far as I can throw them!" Abigail: Throws a kidnapper all through the room.

[@alexanderdiaz6396]

When you said “poor baby “ I was “like just you wait”😂😂😂

[@tetamale4280]

for me, Kathryn Newton stoles the show: the head moment, the onions, the pool, "omg she says maybe", and the dance scene with Blood and Tears, what an icon

[@KainErrow]

Her vampire spawn dance was awesome.

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

The onion part gets me everytime

[@eu_o_andy]

she was so funny, the way she said "oh no"

[@EnchantedAttire]

she looked like Miley Cyrus when she turned

[@rafac7384]

That's interesting. For me, she was the weakest one. I didn't like her performance, I found that "fake". On the other hand, Melissa Barrera stole the show. She's a b4d4ss!

[@northwind2538]

Radio Silence, the group that made this film, also made Ready or Not so that's why the mansion gave you vibes from that movie, and they love their bloody body explosions lol. They also made Scream 5 and 6 so they clearly like working with Melissa Barrera.

[@ultmotive]

Not only did Alisha Weir deliver her lines with the emotional inflections that you only really see with adults, she had to do them in an accent that is not her own. If this wasn't in the horror genre she would probably have been up for an Oscar nomination.

[@MissLemonTea]

For an Irish it is not hard to do the American accent, maybe an American could never do an Irish accent 😂. I have seen movies with Americans "trying" to do another accent and failing badly

[@ultmotive]

@MissLemonTea it depends on the American accent. They can be pretty varied. Sure it might be easy to do the stereotypical Cali girl accent, or even a texas drawl. But there are some accents even other Americans have trouble with like Cajun or northern states like Maine. I've seen plenty of people from the mainland USA completely fail at a Hawaiian creole accent, which is where I'm from

[@rklong1790]

I loved how self-aware the movie was. "So are they like Anne Rice, True Blood, Twighlight?"

[@downunderrob]

Loved the use of Swan Lake, for Abigail's dance routine. It's a nice little nod to the use of it in the opening credits to the Original Dracula film in 1931.

[@lkf8799]

I'm hoping there's a Nutcracker Christmas sequel 😉

[@NeutralTea]

The timing of Swan Lake throughout and at moments were so well done.

[@cupofcait]

So jealous of you guys getting to actually experience the twist! The trailers all gave Abigail being a vampire away.

Honestly, I don't think the "twist" of her being a vampire is "keep secret" material. Idk how else anyone would market it without the judgiest people being ready to call it a by-the-numbers creepy kid movie or some dumb assumption

[@LavenderViolet536]

This was one of the most fun movies of the year. Humor, action, great performances. I was shocked by how much I loved it.

[@user-yf3oz3rn5b]

Fun fact: the whole sunlight thing in vampire lore is only about 100 years old. First depicted in the classic silent film Nosferatu when Count Orlock disintegrated in a puff of smoke after standing at an open window at sunrise. So it's basically just pop culture mistaken for ancient myth.

[@piusdoe8984]

That is an actual good fun fact. Nice

[@jmchez]

Everybody is singing the praises or Robert Egger's remake of Nosferatu, coming this December 25th. The critics say that it is the best horror movie of the past ten years or more.

[@JMac7395]

The movie Abigail is loosely based on the novel Dracula's Daughter. So Abigail's father is Dracula

[@mckellmeh]

fun fact the working (production) title of this movie was actually Dracula's Daughter before it became Abigail.

[@LegendaryAL-93]

makes sense why they didn't keep it a secret that Abigail is a vampire, although going in blind would've been so much more awesome.

[@minarichanisyerinsbangsisl4984]

@@LegendaryAL-93 They apparently run the trailer without revealing it and the test audience found it boring. They thought it was just a typical Rich kid getting kidnapped kinda movie.

[@LegendaryAL-93]

@@minarichanisyerinsbangsisl4984 that makes sense, it was possibly the anticipation of knowing these kidnappers are gonna get consequences is what made this interesting as its been released.

[@kevin982]

Kevin Durant played the idiot very well. He is a very talented actor.

[@Richardwho-vv5bh]

he was MVP in The Strain, where funny story, he was figthing vampires in that show.

[@kevin982]

@Richardwho-vv5bh Yep. A story that ended prematurely in my view. My first memory of him was stargate sg1.

[@WineCheeseGoats]

Yes! I hated him so much as Keamy in Lost, and felt so sorry for him in this.

[@shaunhartsel2653]

I love that he was basically Kronk from Emperor's New Groove in a horror movie

[@haylee412]

so glad you guys had so much fun with this movie !! and yes these were the same people who made Ready or Not so the house and all the blood explosions make sense haha .. you guys are also the first reactors i think who had no clue she was a vamp at first so that was fun to watch .. loved yalls reaction

[@dokidaddy1056]

Did they use the same house/sets for both movies do you know?

[@ChopOnBraves2025]

FYI, the song that Abigail was dancing with the headless body and killing everyone was the theme from Bela Lugosi's Dracula movie.

[@jmchez]

It's originally from Tchaikovsky's ballet, "Swan Lake".

[@theonlyteddybare]

@@jmchez I was gonna say, that’s like THE MOMENT in Swan Lake.

[@mickyjoe97]

Oh that's a cool easter egg. I just assumed they chose it because it's like the go-to classic music choice in movies and TV

[@markcraft]

Rest in peace angus cloud, this was his last film, and He's the first character that died who got his head cut off, Angus died on July 31 2023 he was overdose drugs

[@BarrettSendrowski]

Same director as ready or not, thats why the house looks familiar lol

[@OneDarkMartian]

This movie is friggin’ AWESOME! It’s so fun and the performance from Alisha Weir is nothing short of spectacular. What an absolute star she is in this role.

[@gailscrypto1536]

i like the lore this creates - that vampires are hungry for blood as they have none of their own....

[@kraigobradovich1551]

The young girl who played Abigail is an Irish actress. Very talented

[@tiagoalves2056]

Agreed.

[@chasityrodriguez95]

The names given to them are from the band “rat pack” which included Frank Sinatra, dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr., Peter lawford, Joey bishop. Obviously don Rickles is the actor

[@tetamale4280]

the power of a pinky promise 🥺

[@paulmccloud9395]

Alisha Weir was great. It's so satisfying to see a vampire movie where the vampire is not just powerful but really smart, I found myself rooting for her.

[@KainErrow]

The way they play on the idea of “Kristoff Lazar” is a definite reference to Kaiser Soze from The Usual Suspects; a bogeyman amongst even criminals, the mystery kingpin.

[@markcraft]

The actor who plays Abigail's father is Matthew Goode, you may know him from a live action movie called Watchmen he play Ozymandias

[@justicemambo3486]

29:03 “ what color are my eyes frank 😂 that’s one of my favorite parts.

[@noelhaynes9608]

If they make a sequel to Abigail, I hope that we'll get to see how she interacts with other kids; and if they make a prequel, I'd love to learn more about Abigail's backstory, and her first time as a ballerina vampire.

[@justicemambo3486]

13:52 “like her skirt very clueless 😂😂” I love you guys so much 😂

[@EmeraldRich]

If there is one thing Radio Silence will do, it will always be campy in some sort of way. They did do Ready or Not, the VHS movies, and Scream 5 and 6 after all.

This reaction is not a market substitute 🤣🤣🤣

[@kirstengilroy302]

It’s by the same people that did Ready or Not, so there are similarities. Especially the blood explosions!!!! Loved both films

[@tumulovermelho93]

The first part of the movie, when they didn't know Abigail was the one killing people in the house,felt like the perfect way to make a proper Resident Evil movie or show about the first game and keeping it faithful.

[@VictorLugosi]

Did you know him? No.. shut up.

[@Pink.andahalf]

​@@VictorLugosi It might not be the most sincere feeling in the world, but people are allowed to be sad when strangers die.

[@kristianbanks6450]

@ exactly! Like excuse me. You are so rude. Leave me alone. Do I have to personally know him to be sad? No, I don’t. You didn’t know him either. I’m allowed to be sad when a person dies. It’s sad whether I knew him or not. He’s dead and they way he died is really sad. I’m more sad for the people who knew him like his friends and his family. The tribute they made for him at the end was sweet, so how about you leave me and other people alone and stop leaving petty and rude comments.

[@mikesterling729]

The crab walk reminded me of Bray Wyatt too. Ironically, his finishing move was called "Sister Abigail".

[@Neon_Dion]

You know, now that I’m thinking about it, Abigail took out the whole team strategically one by one. The driver (permitting them from escaping) the military guy (the only other one who had a brain) the muscle guy (the only one who had the strength to fight her off) the tech girl (the one who had the know-how to escape the fortress) It makes total sense now that I’m rewatching the movie with you all haha

[@piusdoe8984]

The driver? Like he is the only one who knows how to drive? And that was enabled by locking down the house. If anything she should have taken out the tech girl first. You're trying to make this seem much more calculated than it actually is

[@Neon_Dion]

⁠​⁠@@piusdoe8984can’t I just have fun with the movie? Are you like some sort of grinch or something? 🙄 lighten tf up and yes, the driver since he said at the beginning he was the best getaway driver and it WAS calculated, they were setting up a kidnapping 🤣🤣🤣 who tf is this guy? 👆🏾

I am super bummed out now because when I saw him I thought…… “Damn, that dude is gonna be asked to play Mac Miller if they ever do a biopic about him!” He even died in a similar way to Mac. 😣 Sad to think he was the first character to die in this movie and the also the first actor from this movie to die. 😢

[@EmlynBoyle]

I really enjoyed this movie, even though the trailers pretty much spoiled the premise. I loved that it was also shot in Ireland (some of the brief exterior city shots are actually my hometown, Dublin). The movie is a loose remake of Dracula's Daughter, so Lazaar is pretty much Dracula (under a different name).

[@Okkotsu86275]

A surprising entertaining and fun film. I really enjoyed it.

[@wickedfire91]

This film began life in the writers' room as a potential remake of "Dracula's Daughter". They ended up diverging from it wildly (for the better, I think), but there are little breadcrumbs here and there that Lazar is Dracula. Abigail's fixation on the theme from "Swan Lake" for her ballet is adapted from that theme being in the opening credits of the 1931 "Dracula". The actress who played Abigail was astounding. Before this, she was pretty much only in the musical "Matilda". She did a lot of her own stunts, too -- the scene where she's dancing on the banister was done entirely by her!

[@gevorg1989]

Loved this movie. The downside was it took too long to show the girl's vampire, considering promo-photos and trailers showed it from get-go 😅

​@@kroft6799 Abigail wasn't faking. The syringe genuinely knocked her out. She let it happen the first time to maintain her cover. But the second time was against her will. Also, keep in mind that Joey said Abigail's pulse was slow and steady when the syringe was used. Vampires, in normal lore, don't have a pulse since they're supposed to be undead.
