Plot: A group of criminals is sent out to kidnap a young girl. They need to hold her overnight so her wealthy father has time to come up with a big lump sum. The first part of the job is easy enough, but they have no idea who they're actually kidnapping. And as it turns out, the girl isn't quite as innocent as she looks.

Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett trying to revisit their Ready or Not success. Abigail is a good enough attempt, but it doesn't hold a candle to their first film. For that, the promotion material was too spoiler-ridden, while the film itself feels a little too repetitive, and the overall quality is lacking in places.
It's weird that the promo material of the film spoils a lot, whereas the first third is still trying to be mysterious about the plot. The performances are a little iffy too, luckily the setting is pretty cool, the cinematography is on point and there are some fun, gory moments to keep things interesting. Definitely not a bad film, but the potential was there to be even better.
