Don’t be fooled… she will eat you alive. Universal has dropped a new trailer for the horror film Abigail, featuring a truly monstrous little girl.
A group of would-be criminals find out babysitting isn’t so easy when they kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, as they discover that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.
