The cast ofAbigailmay have found themselves trapped in a vampire flickthat featured plenty of ballet, but do they know the basic terms of the dance form? In an exclusive to Collider clip to celebrate the film’s arrival to PVOD on May 7, the star-studded cast ofTyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin’s latest flick do their best to keep up with the steps and movements of the art-form mastered by the movie’s titular big bad, played byAlisha Weir.
While Weir may have a sprawling background in theaterand all the dances that come with it, the rest of the cast remains largely in the dark except forKevin Durand. A Canadian native, Durand has a one-up on the rest of the cast as a French speaker and absolutely annihilates his casting in the film as purely the brawn.Maybe it’s his hockey backgroundor some secret dance classes, but Durand is completely on top of the guessing game.
In second place,Kathryn Newtonwas also able to nail a number of the moves, which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise asher inclusion in one of the wildest dance scenes to grace a filmprobably helped her out. In last place areDan StevensandWilliam Catlett, who largely relied on their partners for the answers - better luck next time, guys.
Dancers? Vampires? What Is ‘Abigail’ About?
In case you’ve missedour sprawling coverageon Radio Silence’suber-successful Universal monster flick, yes,Abigailis both a trained ballet dancer and a blood-sucking vampire. The gist of the film is that a set of kidnappers are sent to abduct a girl and hold her for ransom from her absurdly wealthy father. But, they find themselves in quite a bind after discovering that Abigail has a secret - she’s a centuries-old vampire, and, worse than that, it’s dinner time. The crew struggles to stay alive throughout the film that was brought to audiences by the directorial team behindReady or Not,Scream(2022), andScream VI.Filling out the production’s incredibly star-studded ensemble areMelissa Barrera(Scream VI),Giancarlo Esposito(Breaking Bad), and the lateAngus Cloud(Euphoria) in his final on-screen role.
