Peacock Is About To Lose One of the Best Vampire Movies of the 2020s

by

For over a hundred years, vampires have remained a popular monster in movies, changing from scary, traditional creatures to charming, aristocratic figures and, eventually, brooding romantic heroes. They first appeared on screen in the 1922 silent film Nosferatu, and their popularity has continued ever since. With new films like Dracula: A Love Tale and Flesh of the Gods planned for 2026 and beyond, vampires aren’t going anywhere soon. However, Peacock subscribers don’t have much time left to watch one of the best vampire movies currently available on the platform.

If you enjoy scary movies, be sure to watch Abigail on Peacock before it’s gone. This 2024 reimagining of the classic Dracula’s Daughter, starring Melissa Barrera from the Scream movies, has been popular on the platform since September, but it’s leaving soon—likely by the end of the month. The story follows a group of criminals who kidnap the daughter of a dangerous crime boss, only to discover she’s a terrifying vampire who turns the tables on them.

Abigail Is the Gory, Action-Packed Vampire Movie You Need To See

It remains to be seen if Abigail will become a timeless classic, but it’s easily one of the most enjoyable and well-made vampire movies of the past few years. While it doesn’t completely revolutionize the vampire genre – it actually nods to many familiar tropes and existing stories – it offers a fresh and fun take on a well-worn idea.

Unlike typical vampire stories featuring dark, brooding characters, the film Abigail offers a surprising and entertaining twist. It presents Abigail as a seemingly sweet and innocent ballerina who is secretly a strong, centuries-old killer. The contrast between young actress Alisha Weir’s delicate, graceful dancing and the film’s intense horror is striking. Abigail focuses more on the panic and mayhem that occur when ordinary people face a supernatural danger than on traditional vampire myths.

Beyond being a fresh take on vampire stories, Abigail is simply a fantastic horror movie and one of the best in the genre released in 2024. It cleverly mixes a kidnapping plot with intense monster action, offering plenty of gore, smart humor, and a delightfully chaotic energy – making for a thrilling and bloody good time.

Where to Stream Abigail After It Leaves HBO Max?

If you enjoy vampire movies, now’s the time to watch Abigail on Peacock. It’s likely to be removed soon and doesn’t currently have another streaming home. While the exact date is unknown, movies in this section usually leave by the end of the month. Abigail might become available on a different streaming service in February, but if not, you’ll need to buy, rent, or find a physical copy to watch it.
