A vampire ballerina faces off against’ ‘Scream’s Melissa Barrera in ‘Abigail’ trailer

A girl in a white tutu.

Last year, M3GAN gifted us with a pint-sized horror icon with killer dance moves. This year, Universal’s Abigail looks to take up the mantle of dancing scream queen with its titular character: a vampiric ballerina (Matilda the Musical‘s Alisha Weir).

On the outside, Abigail looks like any sweet 12-year-old. But when a group of criminals kidnap her in order to claim a $ 50 million ransom from her father, they discover she’s got a taste for human blood — and they’re next on the menu. Locked in an isolated mansion, will these would-be kidnappers be able to survive the night?

Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream VI), Abigail stars Melissa Barrera (Scream franchise), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), William Catlett (Black Lightning), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution), and Angus Cloud (Euphoria).

Abigail hits theaters April 19.
