In terms of visuals, Abigail truly shines with its stunning special effects. The intricate detail of the film creates a sense of wonder and enchantment, drawing viewers into a realm where anything is possible.

But be warned, Abigail doesn't shy away from showing the harsh realities of its world, including scenes with blood and guts that may not be suitable for the faint of heart. The film's unflinching portrayal of violence adds a gritty realism to the story, heightening the stakes and showcasing the true dangers that the characters face.

The narrative takes unexpected turns, challenging your expectations and keeping you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I won't give anything away, but the ending elevated my rating. More often than not it's the other way around.

Overall, Abigail is a must-see film for fans of fantasy and horror. With its perfect blend of humor, blood, and guts. Abigail will leave you wanting more.
