Abigail (2024)

A group of criminals who do not know each other are hired to kidnap the daughter of a tycoon without knowing important sinister secrets.

"Abigail" is a heist, action and horror movie. Its twist has already been revealed from the trailer or other media sources, but the film manages to still be satisfying and well made, with a good measure of action combined with cheap but effective plot points, resulting in a film that maintains one's attention and satisfies the need for good entertainment.

Director:  Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett   

With: Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, Kathryn Newton, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Durand, Matthew Goode

Rating: 8/10

Freaky (2020)

Millie and the local serial killer exchange bodies after a mythical dagger is used in her attack.

'Freaky' is a horror version on the classic body-changing comedy theme. Vince Vaughn is believable in the role of the killer but also in the one of the teenager who's trapped in an incompatible and inadequate body. The film is entertaining and funny, with a decent measure of ironic violence, but in the end, the viewer will not be able to stop feeling that there is an unpleasantly large portion of undiscovered potential for the subject matter.

Director:  Christopher Landon   

With: Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Celeste O'Connor, Misha Osherovich
