How To Watch Bloody Vampire Horror Pic Abigail At Home

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys. Unfortunately, that comes at the expense of the main group of kidnappers/mercenaries who have absolutely no idea what they just got themselves into. The directing duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (also known as Radio Silence) unleashed a hellish feast for the senses earlier this year thanks to their horror flick with a twist, "Abigail." Because of the wonders of marketing, of course, we found out long before our doomed lead characters that the innocent-looking child they've chosen to hold for ransom is actually a bloodthirsty vampire (Alisha Weir). And in no time at all, the full weight of their predicament dawns on them as they realize that the hunters have now become the hunted in a horrific cat-and-mouse game set at a decrepit old mansion over the course of one endless day.

After debuting to rave reviews (including /Film's own by BJ Colangelo, which you can read here) but inflicting only a somewhat tepid imprint on the box office, fans will now get their chance to reexperience buckets of blood and gore and little children throwing grown adults across rooms all over again. Even as "Abigail" remains in theaters, we now know when the movie will be making its digital debut for home viewing. Universal Pictures released "Abigal" on PVOD in May, but it will also be getting a physical media release in July, as well as a streaming release on Peacock. Get all the details below!

The gore-soaked creative minds behind 2019's "Ready or Not" and the two most recent installments of the "Scream" franchise made a bloody return to the genre with "Abigail," and now everyone will be able to relive the one-location horror/thriller from the comforts of their own home. Starring "Scream" queen Melissa Barrera, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Lisa Frankenstein" star Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens (who's having one heck of a year between this and "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire"), the great Giancarlo Esposito, Alisha Weir, Kevin Durand (who will also appear in this year's "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes"), the late "Euphoria" star Angus Cloud, and William Catlett, "Abigail" comes from a script by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick.

Fans itching for a bite of vampire horror can find "Abigail" on digital platforms such as Amazon, iTunes, and more starting tomorrow. Universal also released a spiffy new TV spot to mark the occasion, featuring a pull quote or two by an outlet that certainly knows what it's talking about. (Okay, it's us.) 

But that's not all, because "Abigail" will also be available to stream on Peacock starting on July 19.

"Abigail" will also be getting a proper physical media release on Blu-ray and DVD on July 9 (sadly, there's no 4K announcement right now), and it comes with some solid special features. Here are the bonus features available on disc (which also come with the digital purchase):

• Deleted & Extended Scenes
• Gag Reel
• Blood Bath – Soak up the slaughter alongside the cast and crew with this dive into the deep end of Abigail's body pits, where practical FX reign supreme and there's no such thing as too much blood.

• Becoming a Ballerina Vampire – Abigail actor Alisha Weir, choreographer Belinda Murphy, and more members of the creative team take up the task of transforming a seemingly sweet little girl into a vicious vampire.
• Directing Duo Matt & Tyler – Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett lead this look at the actors, ideas, and environment they put together to create a set that's fun while still being fearsome.

Here's the official synopsis for "Abigail" from Universal:

A heist team is hired by a mysterious fixer to kidnap the daughter of a powerful underworld figure. They must guard the 12-year-old ballerina for one night to net a $50 million ransom. As the captors start to dwindle one by one, they discover to their mounting terror that they're locked inside an isolated mansion with no ordinary little girl.
