Abigail

-

The newest horror movie of 2024, Abigail, arrives in theaters this weekend. A group of aspiring criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure, holding her for ransom in a secluded mansion. However, their plan begins to unravel when they realize their young captive is, in fact, a bloodthirsty vampire.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and NO Spoilers of Abigail .

The Good

Abigail is a fresh and original entry in the vampire horror genre. While it incorporates classic horror movie archetypes, it manages to maintain a unique appeal. The balance of comedic relief through the characters' interactions, alongside the horror and violence, creates an engaging and enjoyable viewing experience.

The Bad

The biggest downside to this film was that some of the characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth. It's unclear whether this is due to the actors' performances or a general lack of backstory. While poor decision-making is a common trope in horror films, it can be frustrating to watch characters make choices that feel unrealistic or inconsistent with normal behavior.

My Overall Opinion

I give Abigail  a 8 out of 10.

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the major...
