It's almost time for Abigail's bloody hunt to begin. Midnight screenings for heist-turned-horror “Abigail” available on April 17

Alisha Weir’s ballerina vampire loves a delicious bloodbath in “Abigail.”

Get ready to scream. 

Kidnapped ballerina and – unbeknownst to her captors – very hungry vampire Abigail is out for blood. Don’t miss this bloody feast when “Abigail” premieres in cinemas April 17. And if you’re not the type who scares easily, dare to catch “Abigail” at midnight on opening day. 

From Radio Silence – the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (“Scream” 2022, “Scream VI”) – “Abigail” begins with a high-stakes heist, a dangerous mission that, if all goes according to plan, could net six strangers a staggering $50 million. Recruited for the job by a mysterious fixer, the team comprises the driver, the sniper, the medic, the muscle, the hacker, and the thin man, aka head of ops. Their real identities are kept secret from each other as a kind of insurance – should one of them be caught, that person would be unable to implicate her or his co-conspirators. Together, they must infiltrate the well-appointed home of a reclusive kingpin who presides over a vast criminal empire. After sedating and abducting his pre-teen ballerina daughter, Abigail (played by Alisha Weir), the crew must safely transport the girl back to a remote mansion, then settle in to wait for the sun to rise and the cash to turn up. But once inside the isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl. 

Ready for a bloody dance? Meet Alisha Weir, who plays the young ballerina vampire out for gory vengeance in the terrifying horror movie “Abigail,” in cinemas April 17

Nicknaming the different personas of her character really helped Alisha Weir channel the innocent little girl / centuries-old vampire that is the center of the blood-drenched horror movie “Abigail.”

Calling the frightened, kidnapped child version of her character “Abby,” and the alpha predator “Abigail,” helped Weir approach the character as two entirely separate people. For scenes where she plays Abigail, she even altered her voice to sound “not so much like an innocent little kid, but more like a confident adult,” she shares.
