The wee ballerina with the ever-so-sharp teeth tale looks to be a classic “Ten Little Indians,” Who will survive her thriller, with splatter film bloodletting.

The names in the cast some will recognize will include young Kathryn Newton, pretty Melissa Barrera, veteran Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Durand and the estimable Matthew Goode and works-all-the-time Dan Stevens.

Very young Alisha Weir has the title role, bless her heart.

Very curious to see how “Abigail” performs when it opens Thursday (tomorrow at this writing) night, as horror has had a general fall-off in viewership this winter and spring. With comic book movies slipping in quality and appeal and dropping off of release slates, could we be seeing a shift in theatrical release audiences?
