Review of Abigail

Abigail (2024)
6/10
Genre busting
21 April 2024
As usual I went to see this film knowing nothing about & im extremely glad that I went to film without reading any reviews, so there were no spoilers

I had no idea what genre it was although I thought it might be horror & the trailers shown before the film confirmed that but of intuition.

Then the film started and I thought we are in for a edge of seat thriller like Taken or Die Hard but I was wrong I was very wrong

What you did get was a twist on various staple film stories but with twists . So there was a bit of knives out , a great deal of The usual suspects , a bit of horror comedy like M3gan and then a complete change in direction but I won't say what was as it'll spoil the surprise .

Did it work ?

I'd say no overall as it tried to be too many things in one film which ended up with plot holes , it's not a bad film it's just not a brilliant one & where it could have emulated the Usual Suspects it took a completely different path

It was full of surprises but not all of them were nice surprises

Pad. A 6/10.
