In Abigail (2024) the moment Abigail’s powerful father’s returns feels like the final reckoning … but fans online were surprised that he doesn’t kill the heroine — and that twist is part of why this vampire thriller sticks with viewers.
Audiences on Reddit and horror forums pointed out that the tension isn’t just about supernatural strength, it’s about unexpected emotional beats — Abigail’s connection to her rescuer and even her dad’s conflicted reaction plays with classic vampire lore and Daddy issues in a way people actually bonded over.
Instead of a straight slasher scare, many fans say the movie’s blend of dark humor, horror-comedy energy and human drama — especially in that final face-off with her father — gave Abigail a “Ready or Not meets Dracula” vibe that kept them talking.
