Melissa Barrera Has a Twisted Idea for Abigail 2

Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett make horror movies that not only soak each scene with blood and gore, but that leave plenty of room for fans to theorize about possible sequels. With Ready or Not 2 in the works, and both Scream 2022 and Scream VI under their belts, is it any wonder Abigail stars Melissa Barrera and Alisha Weir have some pretty twisted ideas of their own for a sequel?
Abigail may start out as a crime thriller, but the kidnapping of a young girl (Weir) takes a sharp turn into a nightmarish bloodbath for this group of criminals. Tasked with holding the daughter of a very wealthy man hostage for 24 hours, a group of strangers is brought together to a sprawling estate where $50 million is on the line. It isn't long before it's revealed that Abigail is actually a vampire with her teeth set on some ne'er-do-wells, turning the job into a fight for survival.
During this interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Barrera admits she was "constantly surprised" by her co-stars on set as the movie took on a new life going from script to screen, and credits Weir for that emotionally charged final scene. Weir, who Grand Jetés into our hearts in her first-ever lead role in a horror movie, shares some advice for other actors jumping into the genre for the first time, and also highlights a moment on set when Barrera helped her out during a challenging scene.

Melissa looks at her like a proud mother. I'm sure Alisha's parents were more at ease knowing their daughter was in good hands.

@brianng8350 Ай бұрын

Alisha is such a pro at such young age. And I’m glad Melissa is so protective of her young co Star.

i love how even in an environment such as a movie interview melissa isn’t ashamed of asking for help with english. she’s just like “english is not my firs language so please help me on this”

Hands down one of my absolute favourite vampire movies it was hilarious and these actors done a fabulous job especially this young lady and Melissa fair play to both mains.

Alisha and Melissa are such a delight together - though haven't seen the movie yet! "Joey...I'm so sorry what I'll have to do to you" - one of the best lines ever.

@ryanjones358 Ай бұрын

If they're gonna make a sequel, they have to get on it right away because Alisha is not going to be a kid forever, unlike Abigail.

@alexandriacollins7119 Ай бұрын

*IF* there is a sequel, they'll have to come-up with an explanation as to *why* Abigail, who has been frozen at the age of 12-years-old for centuries, looks older, as her actress, Alisha Weir, will be older.

@millenialbookworm86 Ай бұрын

I loved this movie, in terms of a possible sequel I would imagine Abigail’s dad being ready to make her life miserable and may need Joey to come save her. He looked pretty pissed coming home to that bloody mess lol. Awesome movie though again I loved it lol.

@MYFAVORITES5 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I'd like Melissa vs the dad, definitely.

@samherrera2702 Ай бұрын

Was he pissed at her or that his home was one huge abattoir?

@GangstaDecipleXSX Ай бұрын

Nice idea for sure. I think they could go either 2 ways. A sequel where Cruz/Joey the One they let go comes back for revenge against Abigail & her father Lazarr(Dracula). Or a prequel telling the origin or Abigail and showing her over the 300 years to who she is now. Both sound great tbh.💯

@shaurryabaheti 17 күн бұрын

@@GangstaDecipleXSX I dont think it will be much of a revenge story... It makes more sense to me that abi would want to kill the dad so every other vampire can get free including abi, so then she will take Joey's help for it. And then she will just be a kid

@GangstaDecipleXSX 17 күн бұрын

@shaurryabaheti Great points for sure. Could go a few ways and they would all be good I think. Just watched again last night and was just as good. 💯

@wellsaidgoodheadfred9843 Ай бұрын

Abigail was awesome. I'd give it about a 7.5/10, about the same as I'd give 'Ready or Not.' I can't wait for 'Ready or Not 2,' the first one was so entertaining.

@MYFAVORITES5 Ай бұрын

Spoilers . . . . . If they did a part 2 I like exploring if Melissa could kill the progenitor vampire to uncurse Abigail and her dad (or kill her dad to uncurse Abigail if that's a thing).

@corbinnugent3728 Ай бұрын

For the sequel, I think it would be neat if Abigail met Joey son Caleb and vampire cults are after him and Joey and Joey gets killed and Joey makes Abigail promise to protect him and she becomes like his lethal protector.

@alexandriaceballos1938 Ай бұрын

Maybe that would lead the way to a loose reimagining of Son of Dracula. Since the Count dose have two kids in the Universal Universe.

@@corbinnugent3728 I remember at the end of the movie, Abigail’s father took Joey’s hand and kissed it. So this might be a possible sequel idea!

@What.99 23 күн бұрын

I actually felt bad for Abigail at the end. Like, yeah, she’s a bloodthirsty murderous monster, but she’s also a centuries-old woman trapped in a little girl’s body, created by a father that doesn’t love her and only sees her as a tool. But, yeah, she’s still a psychotic mass murderer. I wonder if she would stop it all (aside from the feeding to stay alive) if she could, like if she was “rescued” from her father, or if she enjoyed ripping people apart too much, which you definitely see in the movie.
