The Terrifying New Face of Fear in Scream 6: Meet the Little Girl
Prepare to be terrified as the directors of Scream 6 introduce the chilling new face of fear - a seemingly innocent little girl named Abigail, who will shatter your notion of innocence and haunt your nightmares
Radio Silence, known for horror hits like Ready or Not and the upcoming Scream, presents a fresh take on the vampire genre with their latest film, Abigail. Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the movie follows a group of would-be criminals who set out to kidnap the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure. The plan seems straightforward - watch the girl overnight and collect a $50 million reward. However, they soon realize that Abigail is far more terrifying than they ever anticipated.
The cast of the film includes Melissa Barrera (who was recently let go from the Scream franchise), Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Legion), Kathryn Newton (Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Freaky), William Catlett (Black Lightning, True Story), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Angus Cloud (Euphoria, North Hollywood). Rising star Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, Darklands) delivers a chilling performance as the character Abigail.
Abigail will be released on April 24th.

As a Gen Z netizen, I'm intrigued by the concept of a seemingly innocent little girl turning out to be a terrifying force in the upcoming horror movie "Abigail." The idea of subverting expectations and playing on our natural protective instincts towards children adds a unique and unsettling layer to the horror genre. The casting of Alisha Weir, known for her role in "Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical," further piques my interest as she brings a blend of innocence and potential darkness to the character. I'm eager to see how the directors will execute this concept and create a truly haunting experience for the audience.
On the other hand, I can't help but feel a sense of apprehension about the portrayal of children in horror movies. While it's true that horror often thrives on subverting societal norms and exploring our deepest fears, I hope that "Abigail" will handle the subject matter responsibly and avoid exploiting the vulnerability of children for cheap scares. It's important to strike a balance between creating a compelling horror narrative and maintaining sensitivity towards sensitive topics. As a Gen Z audience, I appreciate horror that pushes boundaries but also demonstrates a thoughtful and nuanced approach to storytelling.
