Love how you’re becoming more open to giving other movies a chance that aren’t your particular cup of tea right away. Like you said it’s nice to just sit back and enjoy a film sometime without needing to have high expectations for it.

I watched an interview Alicia said she never did ballet before and had to train for 3 months. Glad she was dedicated

WOW! that is really cool. I feel like it's rare to not use a double in horror, particularly when it's a skill. Esp. if they have no experience before hand.

I ATE this movie UP. It was so fun and the performers were fantastic. I was along for the ride with them the whole way. They were fantastic.

As someone who doesn’t particularly care for famous monster movie horror (werewolves vampires etc) I loved this movie sm it’s my favorite of the year which I didn’t expect. It’s not that this sub genre of horror is bad it just doesn’t interest me. I expected to walk into a good movie but I had sm fun watching I really have nothing to complain about. 10/10 for me personally

I think this is my favorite vampire movie now.

My name is Abigail, I love vampires and horror. It feels like this movie was made specifically for me. I will absolutely be a vampire ballerina for Halloween 🧛🏼‍♀️🩰

My husband is an "old timey" vampire fan, but not really a horror movie fan. I'm the opposite. After hubby had a really bad day the other day (he was the victim of a minor crime), I decided to take him out for a date night including this movie for a light momentary escape. This movie worked for both of us to de-stress. We both enjoyed it quite a bit for exactly what it is.

I love the use of dance elements in horror when they're used well! The way Alisha Weir used her theatre/dance background to move reminded me a bit of the Grudge, since the actress who plays Kayako is also a trained dancer.

Remember when From Dusk Till Dawn came out and most people that watched it never expected the movie switch genres at the halfway point? This movie was designed the same way and would've had the same effect on the audience if they hadn't ruined so much in the trailers and TV spots. That was my only issue with it.

"I'm no longer watching future Scream movies, but I'm seated for anything Melissa Barrera is in." PREACH. I'm already a fan of hers but now I'm just ready to support her even for things I'm not super excited about beforehand.

I just seen the movie, I didn't find it at all funny, didn't find it humorous. I wasn't frightened either, but having a child ballerina who is a vampire to me doesn't make it humorous in it self. She mentions jokes, what jokes?

Saw Abigail last Saturday. It’s a very different vampire film. From one of their interviews, they used practical effects, filmed in a real mansion in Dublin, Ireland and no green screens. Kathryn has a dance background that helped in mimicking Alicia’s ballet dance scene.

just went and saw abigail last night, and i came out of it praying that you would review it in your next video because i was so curious of what you thought... you've answered my prayers!

I thought of ready or not when the vampires started exploding! Makes so much more sense haha

This was such a fun review. It was funny to see you poke fun at yourself a bit for thinking you wouldn’t like it and then ended up really liking it. Pushing comfort zones yay!

My dad and I saw this in theaters together and we had a fun time. Even though the theater wasn't packed there were plenty of laughs and it was a fun time! ❤ I loved the video, you are doing so amazing! Keep up the great work ❤

..... I wasn't that crazy about the ending either.... it was just okay. I was getting a little bored between, or rather with the big fight scene between Abigail and Melissa barrera's character and Dan Stevens character. A little too long and needed to be edited down. It threw out all the dark, mysterious supernatural, elusive quality of the vampire that the filmmakers did well of putting into place earlier in the film.

OMG, Angus Cloud passed away? I was disappointed he wasn't in the movie longer because he is soooooo good. He was really stellar in Euphoria! 😢

Dracula's Daughter was about an adult vampire. She's a sympathetic monster.

You're the best horror film critic imo. Thank you for being awesome!

Alisha Weir is crazy talented, SHE has range. She was in the Matilda musical movie, a completely different vibe of course but acting almost had me believing it was 2 different people

so glad you enjoyed this! i loved it, i thought it was super fun. this is definitely on my list for halloween costumes for my daughter and i!

I saw this today and really enjoyed it! I didn’t watch an entire trailer (just a snippet before a YT video) and wasn’t sure if it was going to be cheesy, but ended up being so surprised! Love your review, too and super agree about the cast ❤

The way that I absolutely lost my shit when Matthew Goode came onto screen at the end. Vampire media icon

YES! I was hoping you’d review this! I didn’t see it in your “upcoming 2024 horror movie” vid you did a while ago

Saw this last night with my friends it was so fun! Great cast and you’re right it never slowed down and it was kinda long.

Great review! This one was definitely a fun surprise. Even though the trailers gave a lot away, the movie still had a lot going for it and agree with your comment that the house/location was gorgeous! Alisha Weir is SO talented!! This movie absolutely delivered on a Dolby screen!

My husband and I saw this trailer like 5 times bc we’ve been trying to see more movies in theaters this year. We were looking forward to it but had low expectations, but it was so much fun!! We laughed out loud a lot.. especially when Kathryn Newton’s character brought out the onions instead of garlic lol

I definitely made the Megan comparison too but I told my boyfriend someone saw Megan and said "I can do that but better"

Alicia did and looked so great like the one who played the little girl in the new children of the corn also theyre performances I've never seen childhood actors play so fantastic they both nailed it especially alicia!!!!!! She did so phenomanal!!!!

First awesome shirt! Good review and cool video Sarah!👉🙂👈

The kitchen reminds me of that Black Mirror episode Playtest!

I first saw Kathryn in Detective Pikachu and The Society. She’s so good in any kind of role.

You covered every point I made on my own review of this film, and I 100% agree with your takes

This has been such a fun year, so far, for horror.

Watched it and loved it! Radio Silence has yet to let me down. RIP Angus Cloud, this was the first and maybe only thing I'll ever see him in since I don't plan to watch Euphoria.

Love your shirt!

Love the shirt! Did you see the 45th anniversary of Dawn in the theater? We saw it at Alamo here in Virginia.

Heck yeah it’s a great Halloween costume! My babies are all grown now with babies of their own but let me tell you…when they were home we did everything which could get expensive if we weren’t creative! Luckily, we were creative! Our son played peewee football age 5-7 (not through school) and our daughter made cheerleader for his team! We got our money’s worth on those outfits! The first year we had them, he wanted to be a vampiric football player and she was his victim I think they did that a couple of years actually! They also had the little karate outfits (gi). They had a ball and they still get along by the Grace of God!

A. Loved the review, cannot wait to see this one. Really hope I can get out to the theater this weekend. B. AMAZING Dawn of the Dead tee!!! C. Amen on the support for Melissa Barrera!

Girl, First - I love your channel! Second - can you share where you get your awesome horror t-shirts?

I felt the same way! You're making me want to see it. 😹❤🖤 Thank you for helping me decide if I should or not!

I thought ABIGAIL was a really good film,I just watched a new british horror film BAGHEAD and really enjoyed it plz let us know what you think I know you enjoy british horror

Thank you for the great review! I'm excited to see Abigail. Can I ask where you got your Dawn of the Dead shirt from? It's awesome!

I know Kathryn Newton from "Supernateral". I love her!!!

I love vampires and Radio Silence!! Scream 6 is my favorite Scream film!! All that being said, I was so excited for this, and it did not disappoint!!! I loved every second of it!!! The characters were so well written! Melissa and Alisha were the standouts for me!!! I loved Katherine too, and I'm not sure of the actor's name, but whoever played Peter was really funny at times! This is my favorite Radio Silence film I’ve seen!!! I want a sequel sooo bad!!!! R.I.P Angus Cloud.

I think it's an entertaining film. Around a 7/10. Great video.

As someone who is not a traditional horror movie lover (I usually don't like them)... I loved this. All the actors are fantastic in their roles (shout out specifically to Dan Stevens, Melissa Barerra and Alisha Weir). I loved the setting, loved the plot. I'll echo a statement someone else made- I want more from this world. They established what a vampire is, but not how they originated (which would have been great if the movie was mediocre, but because I enjoyed it so much, I want to know more). I only have head canon for what Dean and Rickles were guilty of to make them end up in the mansion. And what happens now?!?!? At the end of the movie, whomever is left standing can't just walk away into the sunset without being permanently changed by what happened. They know vampires are real. How is that going to play out? I really liked this movie. I also respect and like your review of it, Sarah. I like your channel and your reviews 😊. We may not have the same tastes, but I know that, if I am interested in something and you say it's worth watching, than it's worth watching. Keep up the great work!

If you like Kathryn Newton & want to see more of her range I recommend 'Freaky'! It's a lot of fun.

Cabin in the Woods was the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer!! Can’t wait to watch!

Wait so what is Melissa Berrera (sp?) advocating and why does it involve watching at home instead of theaters?

Great video! i watched Abigail last night & enjoyed it! I agree with everything you said!

LOVED abigail so much! Loved the characters & cast, loved the GORE & i loved the setting / story!

I went to a matinee of Civil War the day before yesterday but this Saturday evening or Sunday my daughter and I are going to see Abigail. I'm really excited! Yes this year has been killing it lately. Loved The First Omen as well.

I highly recommend Freaky if you want to see Kathryn Newton’s range. It’s a horror comedy that has a lot of good kills that I think make up for its lighthearted tone

It’s a modern take on Draculas daughter film from early 1900s. While I’m not the biggest vampire genre fan (with the exception of Buffy) I enjoyed this. Not perfect at all as the trailers spoiled too much. SPOILERS I LOVE how Joey kept her pinky promise to protect Abby even after finding she was a vampire. I definitely wanted more. Hopefully there’s a sequel coming

I finally got the chance to see Abigail last night, I loved it! It was so fun to watch! Also, "Father" played another vampire in Discovery of Witches (very cheesy show but watchable), so when I saw him I had a nice laugh at that :D

Kathryn newton is in paranormal activity 4 too

I always wait to watch the movie first and then come back to your videos and enjoy ❤ thank you for speaking up for 🍉 stay safe 🫂

I agree about the comedy being a little over the top! Like Peter’s character playing “dumb” wasn’t always hitting for me. Overall, it was a fun movie but not my fave! I prefer more atmospheric horror. Love Melissa’s and Kathryn’s characters though!

dan stevens acting in this movie awakened something in me. like oh.

I saw this movie twice in theatres and LOVED it! I also thought it could be corny but it was the opposite. The dance scene between Abigail and Sammy was so amazing! This is a movie I will need to own.

I love your shirt. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite George Romero flick. Abigail seems pretty good 🧛‍♀️

I think going into it completely blind (no trailers or any prior knowledge) made me enjoy the movie that much more. Didn’t know it was a vampire movie but I was pleasantly surprised considering I’m not a huge fan of vamp movies. 3.5 or 4/5 😁

I honestly didn't know I should give this a go, but now I'm very down to watch it.

Crazy to watch. Friday is coming 😎

When I was watching Abigail the explosions made me think of ready or not.... Which now makes more sense

Fun vampire movie, rooted for Alisha Weir's vampire ballerina all the way 💪🧛🏻‍♂️💯

I loved this movie!!!! It's so great seeing Melissa berrara and the director work again so happy she can play characters still!!!! This movie frightened me and brought back that horror feel when they were horror back then when I was a kid that's what this movie brought back and abigail looking at her exploded hand screaming was really somehow what got me the effects were so great and the makeup and contour also Kathryn and Melissa both looked great as Joey and Sam also as everyone else the setting was nice too!!!! One movie plus Beetlejuice two are probably gunna be the best standing out movies this year!!!!!! As scream was in 2022!!!!!

This is definitely a movie I want to check out. I enjoyed Ready or Not, and the cast is AMAZING, so I'm sure I'll love it.

Went to see it last Monday I really enjoyed it and I thought it was one of the best vampire movies that I've seen in a long time from Scott.

I went out of my way to watch Abigail specifically as a way to support Melissa Barrera and I'm so glad I did. I thought all of the characters were amazing and so well played (Dan Stevens was a favorite). Alisha Weir blew me away too. She's such a talented actor and I can't wait to see what else she does. Totally agree about the ending, however. It felt a little out of place imo

Would love to see you review the movie Freaky !

I agree with your comparison with M3gan. Abigail was the fun popcorn movie that M3gan wanted to be. It was smarter, the characters were more interesting, and the performances were spot on. I'm not usually a fan of sequels, but this feels like a good franchise starter. Unfortunately, the amazing actress who played will quickly grow out of the role.

I would love to go see the movie at the movie theater or I have to wait until it’s streamed maybe on Netflix

Not sure if you've ever covered it already but if not could you do a video on the movie May? I was obsessed with it as a teen and it seems like no one knows it, its very weird. Its from the 2000s

I would say that it’s a horror comedy, a movie with comedic elements that is mostly horror I would give to Evil Dead Rise or maybe Get Out, I think everyone has a different range

I went into this one blind. I think I had seen a preview maybe once but I never picked up on what the secret was. Like.. I didn’t know what kind of monster she was. Either way I didn’t know what to expect with Abigail and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve watched it twice. It’s a good film to put on for entertainment purposes a slumber party vibe type occasion movie. But yeah.. all in all, I enjoyed Abigail very much.

They did show too much in the previews but it was such a fun ride!

I haven't seen Abigail, but I am excited for it. I have seen Dracula's Daughter and I can tell you it is in no way similar, not even close!

This was great. Not knowng the plot/twist so much wouldve been better, and while i prefer Ready or Not - felt the explosion in the theater, for sure 😂

4:04 “obviously WE know she’s a vampire..” Not me! For the most part, I’ve completely stopped watching trailers. I’ve also stopped reading the description. Trailers nowadays ruin films. I like going in completely blind and experiencing the film with as little “external influence” as possible.

I wanna watch it and own it. Esp its prob the last angus performance 🥺

Kathryn Newton was also the lead in Freaky with Vince Vaughn, and also the lead in Paranormal Activity 4. And I’m pretty sure you watched those idk

I'll watch it if it's movie of the week at my cinema

IM SO SAT FOR THIS. I’ve been waiting for this video!!!🫧🌀🤍🫶

I liked it. Not as good as ready or not but it was a fun watch. What I don’t understand is why they tint the color on some movies. It doesn’t add to the atmosphere of the movie so I don’t know why directors do this. It’s usually blue/green but this movie does this with the red/ beige color scheme. I wish movies didn’t do this because it’s an eye sore and makes it difficult to see what’s going on as opposed to adding Dramatic flair ( if that’s what directors are attempting to do)
