thatdanstevens Bloody love this gang. Fantastic night at the Abigail Premiere! Delightful reception for such a fun and funny movie. And So. Much. Blood...
This is such a tough role, especially for a child actor. And she completely nailed it. She convincingly pulled off acting like a sweet, innocent, terrified little girl (seriously that kidnapping scene was dark...) and then quickly flipped the switch to being a bloodthirsty, cunning, sadistic monster.
And apparently she did most of her stunts herself! That's amazing!
She's like Kirsten Dunst's Claudia but on crack. And she was working in some pretty intense scenes. But, I've got no doubt that she was surrounded by a great cast and crew who took care of her during those physically and emotionally tough scenes.
I'm just so proud of her! From Matilda to Abigail, Alisha Weir is showing off quite an impressive range. Again, at such a young age, too. And I hope that her career continues to go in different directions.
I'm imagining Wednesday and Enid going to see Abigail with Yoko and Divina as a double date
Wednesday naturally loves the bloody violence and respects Abigail's sadism and creativity, seeing it as an inspiration
Enid loves horror but pretends to be scared so she can cuddle close to Wednesday who knows Enid isn't actually scared but she certainly isn't going to push her away. On occasion, she will ask if Joey looks kind of like Wednesday's cousin Sam but Wednesday doesn't see it
Yoko is only there because she was dragged along and is annoyed at the inaccuracy of Hollywood portrayals of vampires, particularly the myth about sunlight, and everyone prepares for an extended rant about it afterwards
Divina is a giant wuss who can't handle horror and violent films and is on edge the whole time, wondering why they couldn't have gone to see Kung Fu Panda and is already planning to drag everyone to Wicked later in the year in retaliation.
thatdanstevens Thanks to everyone around the world who came out in support of our movie this weekend, making it the biggest movie of the year so far! 🦖🦍🌎
