Aside from their offerings to the slasher franchise, Radio Silence has largely stayed involved in the horror genre, having previously worked on movies including V/H/S, Southbound, and Devil’s Due.
Their real breakthrough came in 2019 with the Samara Weaving and Adam Brody-led film Ready or Not which fully fleshed out the comedic and meta leanings that have served them well in all of their other projects. Abigail is no different with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments piled on top of jump scares and complete gross-out situations.
At the box office, Abigail feasted on a successful run, earning $42.4 million against its $28 million production budget. For the most part, audiences and critics embraced the latest Universal Monsters flick, putting it up there with the success of Leigh Whannell’s 2020 reimagining of The Invisible Man.
