Abigail is an 2024 American horror comedy film.
Plot[]
In New York City, young ballet dancer Abigail is abducted by six criminals and recovered to a secluded upstate mansion. Before leaving, their leader Lambert instructs them to guard Abigail for 24 hours, at which point they will receive an equal share of a $50 million ransom paid by her father. Using fake names to avoid any member from identifying the others, the group consists of: former Army medic and recovering drug addict Joey; former NYPD detective Frank; thrill-seeking hacker Sammy; former Marine sniper Rickles; dimwitted mob enforcer Peter; and sociopathic driver Dean.
Though reluctant to continue with the plan as she was unaware the target was a child, Joey is tasked with managing Abigail. Joey is sympathetic to her, sharing that she has a son and promising to protect Abigail from harm. Abigail admits her father does not care about her and will not pay the ransom, before apologizing for what is going to happen to Joey. Perturbed by Abigail's words, Frank violently confronts her, learning that her father is Kristof Lazaar, a powerful, almost mythical crimelord.
After unsuccessfully flirting with Sammy, Dean enters the basement where he is attacked by an unseen assailant. Investigating his screams, Sammy finds Dean's decapitated corpse. The group realize that Lazaar's legendarily violent enforcer Valdez must be inside the house and try to leave but the home's security system seals the property, preventing escape. While looking for a way out, Rickles is mutilated and killed. The group confronts Abigail for information but she transforms into a vampire, revealing she is Valdez. Frank shoots Abigail but her injuries instantly heal and the group flees in terror.
