Abigail is heading to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK in a Blood Bath Edition this July – more information on the release here.
For many years, I’ve tried to go in and see movies without watching a frame of footage in advance. In the case of Abigail, this approach proved particularly successful. I knew not much about the film, had avoided the trailers, I just knew it was from the Radio Silence directing team, who’d previously given us the brilliant Ready Or Not (and the two most recent Scream movies).
Accepting the trailer for Abigail was less keen to keep things under wraps, I had an absolute blast with the movie. Starring Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens and Alisha Weir, I recommend knowing as little as you can before watching the movie.
If you missed it in cinemas as many did, Universal has now confirmed a physical media release too. Although Abigail isn’t arriving on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format, we are getting it on DVD and Blu-ray. There are extra features listed too, which appear to be on both versions of the release.
They read as follows…
- Blood Bath Featurette – Bringing the Gore of Abigail to Life
- Directing Duo Matt & Tyler
- Deleted and Extended Scenes
- Gag Reel
- Becoming a Ballerina Vampire
- Hunters to Hunted
Universal is billing Abigail’s disc release as the ‘Blood Bath Edition’, although it doesn’t look like that’s a different cut of the film.
The UK disc release date for the film has been marked as 22nd July 2024. You can find more information on the release, and order a copy, right here.
We’ll leave you with the synopsis. But heck, don’t feel in the slightest bit obliged to read it…
Radio Silence, the filmmakers behind the horror hits Ready or Not, Scream (2022) and Scream VI, bring a brash and bloodthirsty new vision of vampires with ABIGAIL. A heist team is hired by mysterious fixer to kidnap the daughter of a powerful underworld figure. They must guard the 12-year-old ballerina for one night to net a $50 million ransom. As the captors start to dwindle one by one, they discover that they’re locked inside an isolated mansion with no ordinary little girl.
