Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Abigail (2024)

One of those criminal groups who've never met & have code names are hired to snatch the 12-year-old daughter of some ultra-rich guy and hold her for ransom. They're holing up in a remote mansion without phones (to prevent tracking) for 24 hours, but it's worth it for the life-changing payday. Of course, things start to go wrong almost immediately.

This manages to be a really effective horror comedy, despite the fact that it was easy to guess the twist from the trailer/press materials. It seems perfectly set up for a sequel, and I look forward to seeing it, should there be one!
