'Abigail' review: Gleefully maximalist horror


By AGENCY
Instead of a sequel to Matilda The Musical, it looks like we got Matilda The Horror instead. — Handout

The filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, made up of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and producer Chad Villella, struck black (comedy) gold with their 2019 horror thriller Ready Or Not, about a young bride, played by Samara Weaving, who has to battle her way out of a murderous game hosted by her wealthy soon-to-be in-laws.

The film demonstrated their mastery of coupling an irreverent tone with splashy violence, and netted the team the responsibility of making the next two Scream movies, the first without Wes Craven behind the camera.
