Melissa Barrera and Angus Cloud, in One of His Final Roles, Battle a Child Vampire in “Abigail” Trailer

'Abigail,' which marks Angus Cloud's final onscreen appearance following his death at 25 on July 31, is in theaters April 19

Melissa Barrera and the late Angus Cloud face off against a terrifying monster in their latest horror movie: a 12-year-old girl.

On Thursday, Universal Pictures released its first trailer for Abigail, which marks 33-year-old Barrera's first movie since she was let go from the Scream franchise in November. The new horror film also marks one of Cloud's last appearances following his death at 25 on July 31, 2023.

Abigail, directed by Barrera's two-time Scream collaborators Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett), follows her character, who goes by the name Joey, as she bands together with a group of criminals (organized by Giancarlo Esposito) to kidnap a wealthy man's daughter for an attempt at a $50 million ransom.

As the plot gets underway, Joey is assigned to stand by the girl, named Abigail, and ensure she stays safe until the debacle is over — until Abigail herself ominously threatens the group and they are locked in her home. As it turns out, Abigail is some sort of vampire, and the would-be kidnappers find themselves stuck with a far more difficult and deadly task than they first imagined.

"After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight," reads an official synopsis for the movie. "In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl."

Abigail also stars Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett and Kevin Durand. The film was cowritten by Guy Busick, who wrote the last two Scream movies and Radio Silence's 2019 slasher Ready or Not, and screenwriter Stephen Shields.

The movie marks a turn away from Scream for Barrera, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett following their successful revival of the iconic meta-slasher series with 2022's Scream reboot and 2023's Scream VI. The most recent entry in the franchise was its first movie to cross the $100 million mark at the domestic box office since 1997's Scream 2.

News broke in August that Betinelli-Olpin and Gillett were moving on from Scream. Barrera remained attached to star in Scream VII until November, when she was fired by the movie's studio, Spyglass, over her social media posts regarding the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
