Abigail
In 1976, a troubled teen befriends her bullied neighbor, seeking revenge on his tormentors, but her obsession turns deadly.
Why it matters
A slow-burning Southern gothic thriller that blends coming-of-age tension with a creeping sense of menace.
- Uneasy atmosphere rooted in 1970s Alabama, tapping into regional isolation as a pressure cooker for youthful rage.
- Ava Cantrell channels the fragile volatility of a teen on the edge, while Tren Reed-Brown’s outsider role adds layered social friction.
- For fans of psychological slashers and folk-tinged revenge tales—think a stripped-down Carrie with a rural malaise.
- Pacing falters at times, but the film’s simmering dread and setting make it worth a look for those who savor mood over jump scares.
