The 2024 horror comedy Abigail is a refreshing update to the tired vampire horror subgenre, potentially showing the best way for Universal to replace its most iconic character. Starring Alisha Weir as the titular child-like monster, the movie has been a huge hit with critics, scoring an impressive 88% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. However, while isolated success is exciting, it is Abigail's potential as a franchise starter that will prove particularly noteworthy for Universal.
