So, 'Abigail' from 2019 dives into some pretty heavy themes surrounding grief and loss. You really feel for the couple, it's raw and haunting, and the pacing builds this oppressive atmosphere that sticks with you. There's a constant sense of dread, and the practical effects have this gritty, unsettling quality that feels so much more impactful than CGI.
