Abigail is a 2024 American horror comedy film directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, and starring Alisha Weir as the title character, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud (posthumously), and Giancarlo Esposito. The film follows a motley group of hired criminals who kidnap the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld boss and are told to hold on her for a ransom while unaware that she is actually a vampire. Originally an adaptation of Dracula's Daughter (1936), the film was announced to be in development in April 2023, with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett attached as directors, and Shields and Busick hired to write the screenplay. It was also announced that the film would be a co-production between Bettinelli-Olpin, Gillett, and Chad Villella's Radio Silence Productions, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak's Project X Entertainment, and Tripp Vinson's Vinson Films.
