What happens

Abigail is a 2024 American vampire horror comedy film directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, starring Melissa Barrera. Alisha Weir stars as the title character, with Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud (posthumously), and Giancarlo Esposito in supporting roles. The film follows a motley group of hired criminals who kidnap the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld boss. Originally an adaptation of Dracula's Daughter (1936), the film was announced to be in development in April 2023, with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett attached as directors, and Shields and Busick hired to write the screenplay. It was also announced that the film would be a co-production between Bettinelli-Olpin, Gillett, and Chad Villella's Radio Silence Productions, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak's Project X Entertainment, and Tripp Vinson's Vinson Films. Abigail had its world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival on April 7, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 19. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $43 million on a $28 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
