‘Abigail’ 2nd Trailer Promises To Eat You Alive
Tickets are on sale now for Universal Pictures’ Abigail, poised to unleash a gory good time at the theater. A brand new Abigail trailer has arrived just ahead of the film’s theatrical release.
Releasing April 19, Abigail has been rated “R” for “Strong bloody violence and gore throughout, pervasive language and brief drug use.”
And it’s not hard to see why, either: Abigail is gearing up to deliver an epic blood bath.
Watch the new trailer below, where Abigail promises to eat you alive.
In the film, “After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.”
From Radio Silence—the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett behind the terrifying modern horror hits Ready or Not, 2022’s Scream and last year’s Scream VI—comes a brash, blood-thirsty new vision of the vampire flick, written by Stephen Shields (The Hole in the Ground, Zombie Bashers) and Guy Busick (Scream franchise, Ready or Not).
Abigail stars Melissa Barrera (Scream franchise, In the Heights), Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Legion), Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Freaky), William Catlett (Black Lightning, True Story), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Angus Cloud (Euphoria, North Hollywood) as the kidnappers and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, Darklands) as Abigail.
The film produced by William Sherak (Scream franchise, Ready or Not), Paul Neinstein (Scream franchise; executive producer, The Night Agent) and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Scream franchise) for Project X Entertainment, by Tripp Vinson (Ready or Not, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) and by Radio Silence’s Chad Vilella (executive producer Ready or Not and Scream franchise). The executive producers are Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher.

Dario Argento’s Next Horror Movie Stars Isabelle Huppert and May Be the Bloodiest of His Career
It seems that Italian horror master Dario Argento is directing a brand new horror movie, and it also seems that Oscar-nominated actor Isabelle Huppert will be starring. But we know almost nothing about the movie at this time, as it has no title and isn’t even on IMDb yet.
So what DO we know about Dario Argento’s next horror movie?
It was in 2022 that Argento revealed the project at FrightFest, telling the crowd that his next would be a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller… but he didn’t name that movie at the time.
As FrightFest co-director Alan Jones tweeted back in August 2022, “Just to clarify what Dario Argento exclusively revealed at FrightFest last night; his new movie will be shot in Paris, it’s a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller and he won’t publicly reveal the title just yet.”
It was then in October 2023 that Isabelle Huppert revealed she would be starring in the mysterious Dario Argento movie. The actress said, “I am very happy to be making this film with him; he is such a strange and original director, but for now, I can’t say anything more.”
The latest update on this mystery project from director Dario Argento comes courtesy of an interview with Argento from the Italian outlet Adnkronos that was published last month.
The outlet asked Argento the following question: “You’re shooting a film with Isabelle Huppert and you’ve said it will be your bloodiest film yet. What will it be like?”
Argento’s response? “It’s a very strong, very bloody film. Isabelle Huppert is gorgeous. An actress of unheard-of class. I’ve seen everything she’s done, cinema, television, and theater.”
“It’s a spectacle to see her,” Argento added.
In addition to his upcoming return to the director’s chair, Argento will be producing three new horror movies: Flesh of My Flesh, The Girl with Crystal Eyes, and The Black Velvet Mask.
