re: Thoughts on Abagail

This is a fair amount more horror-y than Ready or Not. In Ready or Not, the bad guys were bumbling idiots. Here, the antagonist is exponentially more capable

There are some jump scares in this movie. Not many but they are impactful. And blood and gore is exponentially greater than in Ready or Not.

There is a lot of humor in this but I don’t think it landed as well as it did in Ready or Not. The comedy in Ready or Not came from the bad guys being incompetent. Laughing at them is natural.


Here, most of the humor comes from the criminals. In context of what’s going on, the jokes just don’t land because these people are freaking out. A joke just doesn’t seem natural. Not saying it isn’t funny. Just not as funny as it could have been
