Must a movie truly be “good”? Is it not enough to watch Sofia Boutella, covered in blood and sweat, wield a massive gun against a crush of faceless adversaries?

If you caught the first half of Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder’s bewildering take on sci-fi fantasy, you might know the answer to that question already — and it’s not all that positive.

Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver has to answer even more questions than its predecessor. Is any of this worth it when the definitive cuts are still languishing on some Netflix server? Can Snyder’s ambitious worldbuilding, or his evocative cast, justify the saga that he’s trying to create? The answer is... not really.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the directing duo otherwise known as Radio Silence, are intensely aware of the audience they’re serving: one that knows the horror genre inside and out. So, as with their absurdly fun breakout hit Ready or Not, the duo’s riotously bloody vampire flick Abigail plays directly to that audience.

Based on the 1936 classic Dracula's Daughter, Abigail is a reimagining of the Universal Classic Monsters film in the loosest sense of the word. The only thing it has in common with Lambert Hillyer’s Dracula sequel is the idea that Count Dracula has a daughter.

Gone are the 1936 film’s vague lesbian overtones, in its place is a gleefully campy child-monster who feels like M3GAN got a bloodsucking makeover. But therein lies the fun of Abigail: watching a tiny girl in a delicate ballet costume rip to shreds a group of colorful characters who are very aware of what a vampire is but woefully underprepared to deal with one.
