Abigail is truly a unique vampire story that will have you surprised every step of the way. Starring Matilda’s Alisha Weir as Abigail, she definitely has her own unique scare tactics, while trying to remain sweet and innocent.

Additionally the film stars Scream’s Melissa Berrera as Joey as well as Lisa Frankenstein’s Kathryn Newton, Beauty and the Beast‘s Dan Stevens and the late Angus Cloud, who the film is dedicated to after his death last year from an accidental drug overdose.
