Abigail is a 2024 horror comedy in which a crew of criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful crime boss and holds her for ransom in an isolated mansion, only to discover she is a centuries-old vampire who methodically turns the tables with brutal violence and ballet-inspired kills. The story centers on survival, character backstories involving addiction and family, and escalating chaos with practical gore effects and humor. Casting mixes actors in roles that fit the modern criminal setting without emphasis on identity, and the film carries no visible political, activist, or social-justice messaging in its narrative, marketing, or public discussion.

Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Abigail.
Woke representation / casting

18%
Woke political dialogue
Criminals exchange banter and personal stories during the siege, but no political, activist, or social-justice dialogue appears.
5%
Identity-driven story themes
One character’s backstory involves single motherhood and addiction recovery framed as personal struggle and motivation for survival; the narrative treats these as individual flaws rather than identity-politics messaging or empowerment arcs.
