From the trailers I'd seen, this looked like a fun tongue-in-cheek scary movie, descriptions online described it as a reimagining of Dracula's Daughter, featuring a vampire ballerina it certainly got my attention, from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream VI). Basically, Abigail (Matilda: The Musical's Alisha Weir) is the young ballet dancer daughter of a powerful underworld figure in New York City. Six criminals capture Abigail and bring her to a secluded mansion upstate. Shady but well-dressed ring-leader Lambert (Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito) tells the group they are not to use real names or disclose personal details. He gives them aliases derived from the Rat Pack: Joey (Scream VI's Melissa Barrera) is a former Army medic and recovering drug addict, backup leader Frank (Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens) is a former NYPD detective, Sammy (Freaky's Kathryn Newton) is a bratty electronics hacker, Dean (Angus Cloud, posthumous) is a drug-addicted sociopathic driver, Rickles (William Catlett) is a former Marine sniper, and Peter (Kevin Durand) is a dim-witted Canadian mob enforcer. They have kidnapped Abigail for ransom, demanding $50 million from her father, and they have twenty-four hours to keep her safe. Joey, the only person allowed in the room upstairs, is tasked to watch over her. Joey breaks a rule and reveals to a scared Abigail that she has a son. When Joey leaves, Abigail says she is sorry about what will happen to them all during the night. Downstairs, the group pays Joey who reveals what she knows about their backgrounds. Dean unsuccessfully flirts with Sammy and goes into the basement to investigate noises. Sammy hears him screaming as he is dragged away by an unseen assailant. She investigates only to find Dean's headless corpse. Petrified by this, Frank inadvertently enters her room without a mask and demands to know who Abigail's father is. It turns out her father is feared powerful crime lord Kristof Lazar who has a reputation for brutally killing those who cross him. When Rickles decides to drop out and tries to leave, the house security system activates, and they are trapped inside. While they try to find a way out, Rickles is mauled to death. Joey intervenes when Frank tells Peter to kill Abigail. During the altercation, Abigail suddenly transforms into a vampire, causing the group to flee in terror. The group has seen that gunshots are useless and they discuss how to kill a vampire, with mentions of stakes, garlic, crosses, holy water, and sunlight. Frank, Peter, and Sammy find Abigail dancing with Dean's body and have found garlic, formed stakes, and crosses, but defending themselves with these proves unsuccessful. Regrouping again, Joey says that the tranquiliser used when kidnapping Abigail was effective. Fighting against Abigail, they manage to corner and tranquilise her, but not before she bites Sammy on the arm. Abigail wakes as the group has locked her in an elevator. She reveals she knows all their real identities and that Lambert set them up because they have all previously wronged Kristof. Joey deduces Abigail has been eliminating her father's enemies in an attempt to win his love. They leave Frank to watch over her, and she tries bargaining with him to release her in exchange for finding the way out and letting him live. But Abigail easily breaks out of the makeshift cage and starts strangling him. Joey uncovers planks from a window and exposes Abigail to the sunlight, which turns out to be her only weakness. With only hours left before nightfall, the group splits up to find a way out. However, Sammy suddenly turns into a vampire under Abigail's control and feeds on Peter before killing him. Abigail then controls Sammy to attack Frank and Joey, forcing Joey to destroy Sammy with reflected sunlight. Hoping to deactivate the security systems, Joey and Frank find the mansion's control room. They run into Lambert, who is revealed as a vampire. He explains that Abigail turned him into a vampire for betraying her father. Lambert offers to turn Frank into a vampire in order to kill Abigail, and he accepts. But after being turned, Frank kills Lambert with a stake. He then overpowers Abigail before drinking her blood, enhancing his new abilities. Frank then bites Joey, intending to control her after she turns. But Abigail rescues Joey and the two team up to fight against Frank. Eventually, they manage to stake the inexperienced Frank, and his death means Joey is freed from the vampire's curse. Before she can leave, Abigail's father (Matthew Goode) arrives and threatens her. Abigail manages to stand up to her father and reveals that Joey saved her life. He relents and, with the security systems deactivated, Joey is allowed to leave. Joy gets into the car and intends to reunite with her son, and she treats herself to a lollipop. Barrera as the reluctant gang member, Stevens as the wise-cracking sweary ex-cop, Newton as the whiny crook, and Durand as the unintelligent beefy guy are all good, and Weir stands out as the devious child blood-sucking monster. There are funny one-liners (Abigail saying "What can I say? I like playing with my food.") and the constant foul language adds to the humour, it cleverly mocks and celebrates all vampire legends, and the over-the-top gore is comical, a satisfactory vampire horror comedy. Very good!
