Melissa Barrera, after being fired from the “Scream” franchise due to her pro-Palestinian stance, has returned to the forefront with a starring role in “Abigail.” Despite being accused of antisemitism, Barrera remains resolute in her beliefs and has faced the challenges of being a Latina in Hollywood. She takes on the unexpected role of Joey, a strong, silent type who defies the typical “spicy” or “fiery” Latina stereotype. Barrera uses her platform to speak out on human rights and believes that art should reflect the world and inspire change.

The directing duo Radio Silence’s latest film, Abigail, and their previous hit, Ready or Not, share more than just thematic similarities. Eagle-eyed viewers of Abigail will spot a portrait that connects the two films, hinting at a shared universe. This discovery has sparked speculation about a potential crossover, bringing together the surviving characters of both movies in a cinematic universe of hilariously gory horror. Radio Silence has confirmed that the portrait is not merely an Easter egg but a deliberate tie between the two films, leaving the door open for future developments.

Kathryn Newton reveals that playing Cassie Lang in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania’ was the “easiest job” of her life, in contrast to her challenging role in the horror movie ‘Abigail.’ The actress credits the physicality and limited use of green screen in ‘Ant-Man’ for making it a less demanding experience. Despite the ease of the Marvel movie, Newton expresses her hopes for a future Young Avengers project.

Abigail is a consistently entertaining thrill ride and is sure to be an absolute blast. Barrera and Weir are both phenomenal, but Stevens also gets to really shine here. Newton gets a few scenes near the end where she really commands the screen. This movie is insanity, particularly once that reveal happens halfway through. If you liked Ready or Not, you’ll love Abigail.
