Abigail (2024): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The “demon baby” genre is a particular favorite of ours, and this one is a lot of fun. A bit of Agatha Christie, a bit of The Ransom of Red Chief, and a lot of blood (it is a vampire movie, after all). The creepy kid is nicely creepy, the unfortunate criminal crew of misfits is appropriately dysfunctional, and everyone understands the assignment. Absolutely worth a watch.
