‘Abigail’ Filmmakers Radio Silence on Their Genre-Hopping Vampire Thriller and Honoring Angus Cloud’s Final Performance
The filmmaking trio Radio Silence discuss returning to original horror with "Abigail," Angus Cloud's final performance, and supporting Melissa Barrera.
Instead, Radio Silence wanted to return to their roots in original horror, from 2012’s “V/H/S” to 2019’s “Ready or Not.” In “Abigail,” a team of mercenary thieves — played by Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud and William Catlett — hold who they think is a wealthy bigwig’s daughter (Alisha Weir) for ransom inside a decrepit mansion. In an offhand moment early on in the film, Cloud’s character starts singing along to a song on the radio — The Jacka’s 2009 hit “Glamorous Lifestyle,” featuring Andre Nickatina — that the actor got to select himself. Then, during the final stretch of production, Barrera — who also starred in Radio Silence’s “Scream” films — was fired from the seventh movie in that franchise over her pro-Palestinian social media posts about the war in Gaza.
