Abigail. Loved it, I also liked the previous comedy horror vampire movie, Renfield (I missed The Last Voyage of the Demeter which I assume is not comedic at all). Too bad it seems to be flopping like those movies but vampire movies in general look like box office poison now, years removed from the bestsellers adapting Interview with the Vampire and Twilight movies that had hot stars (not that Abigail doesn't have a little for everyone with the likes of Melissa Barrera, Kathryn Newton and Giancarlo Esposito). But even 30 Days of Night in 2007 only seemed to become a small hit. I hope Abigail becomes a hit at least in streaming.

Good action. Good story. Good laughs. Excessive blood and gore. Kept me entertained the whole time. spoilers:end of spoilers
Nice little twist at the end I did not see coming. Not the sister but the mother. I figured out the Sister right away, but the mother and shaman had me all "oh s#!t" but they set it up nicely.
The trailers beforehand showed a lot of movies that are coming out this summer that are chocked full of blood and gore. So if you like that, this is the summer for you!
Sounder ( 1972 ) directed by Martin Ritt. Starring Cicely Tyson, Paul Winfield and Kevin Hooks. Quiet story about a family of black sharecroppers in the 30's. They fall on uncertain times after an incident involving the father. The oldest son struggles to understand his place in the world.
Well acted by the leads, and nicely shot. The movie takes a leisurely when is comes to the plot, but it never seems boring. Heartwarming and charming.
