**_Coming of age or coming of death?_** A mother & daughter from California move to a semi-rural area near Huntsville, Alabama, where the teen girl (Ava Cantrell) befriends a black misfit (Tren Reed-Brown). Havoc ensues. "Abigail” (2023) is part coming-of-age drama and part thriller/slasher. It explores the same interesting themes as Nicolas Cage’s “The Old Way” from eleven months prior, although that’s a Western. It’s comparable to “White Rabbit” (2013) and “The Rage: Carrie 2,” just not as entertaining or rewarding. I’d say it’s almost on par with “Devil’s Island” from two years earlier; however, if you hated that one, you’ll hate this even more. The bottom line is that it’s a technically well-made indie and worth checking out for those interested. Petite Ava Cantrell is a highlight and I respect a production that has the confidence to take its time (which others might interpret as boring). Is what the girl does in the story unbelievable, as some complain? Not if you know the tree from which the fruit fell and she trains in her personal time (even if it’s not shown). Filmmakers aren’t obligated to spell everything out; they respect the viewer to put the pieces together. It runs 1 hour, 28 minutes, and was shot in Oakdale, California, which is 31 miles southeast of Stockton in the middle of the Central Valley (more specifically, the northeast part of San Joaquin Valley).
