Does it make sense that Abigail. . .


. . . more or less turned good at the end and allowed Joey to walk free? Is this character growth credible?

Earlier in the film, even after Joey had been kind to her, she seemed to have no interest in sparing Joey. After all, she's a fucking vampire who had killed so many people that there was a pool full of bodies in the basement, and clearly killing people is just what she does.

For her to suddenly change and show some humanity made me raise and eyebrow and wonder if that had been earned. Or to put it in pro wrestling terms, the face turn felt a little jarring to me.

Did she admit to being hundreds of years old at one point? Stange time to starting feeling a sense of justice and morality, maybe she's a late developer or vampires mature differently

reply

Maybe she always had a sense of justice and morality? After all her victimes were always the people who hurt her father in some way or another.

She wasn't showing any humanity at all.. She made a deal with Zoey because she needed her to help in killing Frank...that was it. If Abby makes a deal with you then she will keep it. That is all letting Zoey go shows. That means that if someone would have let her out of that elevator; then she would have let that person go. It was all part of her game because she was never trapped in there to begin with..

reply

Wouldn't letting someone go allow them to alert authorities to her prior murders? What would be the benefit to Abigail for causing herself to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list?

reply

First you would have to get the FBI to believe that a centuries old vampire that looked like a twelve year old girl actually existed..
