Dexerto caught up with the cast of Abigail to find out who would win in a fight: the eponymous ballerina vampire or the all-dancing AI doll M3GAN. And they have “no doubt” about the winner.
Directed by scream team Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett,Abigailis a reimagining of Universal Classic Monsters’ Dracula’s Daughter. Although it looks a little different.
Rather than the sapphic queen of the 1936 classic, the upcominghorror moviecenters on a group of ragtag criminals who kidnap a tween ballerina (Alisha Weir), only to realize they’ve made a deadly mistake.
Though she’s a completely different beast toM3GAN, both villains have a penchant for dancing. And the same goes for ultra-violence. But if a crossover were to ever happen, who would win in a fight?
Dexerto posed this question to fourAbigail castmembers, and they have “no doubt” about who would win: Abigail hands down. Kevin Durand, who plays Peter, said, “Abigail, no doubt, because I was there. I experienced the glare. I felt the power, the darkness. Abigail all day.”
“Plus she’s got a lot of years of experience,” added William Catlett, who portrays Rickles in Abigail, referring to the fact that the titular blood-sucker is literally centuries old.
Similarly, Frank star Dan Stevens said, “I think Abigail would takeM3GAN, she’s got centuries of experience.” Kathryn Newton, who plays Sammy in the movie, pointed out, “Abigail’s got backup. They’ll come in hot — the vampires unite.”
Sorry, M3GAN, but it looks like AI just isn’t a match for the supernatural. Although the knife-wielding doll would probably still win in a dance-off.
