Life is a series of moments and choices. Sometimes, desperation driven by greed can lead us to make decisions we never thought we'd make. We might find ourselves out of character, or perhaps revealing our true selves. We could end up in unsavory situations, making deals with enemies, or in the clutches of a seemingly harmless kid who could rip our throat out with their teeth. The choices we make can define us, and once made, they can't be undone. So, choose wisely.

A Blood-Soaked Smash

What happens when you put seven strangers in a house, force them to work together, stay together for 24 hours, and one of them turns out to be a vampire? Abigail review, directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, is an unexpected blood-soaked smash that answers this very question. If this sounds like a twisted tribute to the MTV classic reality series, The Real World, you're not far off.

Reality Meets the Supernatural

The movie starts with a seemingly random team of individually skilled professionals who are tasked to kidnap a child. They hand over their phones, are given fake names, and are told they can't leave. The tension in the room is palpable, not only due to the swirling mystery around who they are extorting money from but also due to the unfamiliarity among the team members themselves.

Unexpected Comedy

As they start to flirt and attempt to figure each other out, the film transitions into a comedy. The banter between Angus Cloud, Kathryn Newton, and Kevin Durand flows effortlessly, and their distinct character traits bring a refreshing lightness to the otherwise tense atmosphere.

Final Thoughts

It's a brilliant take on the reality TV concept, turned on its head with an unexpected supernatural twist. It invites the viewer to question the choices we make out of desperation and the consequences that follow.

The movie reminds us that time is precious, life is fleeting, and we don't have the luxury of undoing our choices. So, the next time you find yourself in a seemingly desperate situation, remember to choose wisely. You never know when you might find yourself in a house, working with strangers, one of whom might just be a vampire.
