★★★★

A deliciously simple premise delivers gory satisfaction in Abigail, the first post-Scream horror from Radio Silence directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. In short, a pint-sized, tutu wearing, vampire torments ragtag criminals in a Scooby-Doo mansion. It’s proper elevator pitch material and ballet’s bloodiest episode since Darren Aronofsky pitched Natalie Portman against Mila Kunis. Neither would last a pas de trois on stage with Alisha Weir.
