Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin say their vampire movie wasn't designed to spawn a franchise.

Abigail directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin would sink their teeth into a sequel in a heartbeat, but this may be one monster that's one-and-done. The duo behind Ready or Not and Scream VI — also known as Radio Silence — take a turn at a different kind of bloody horror with their Universal monster movie, about a group of would-be criminals who kidnap a 12-year-old ballerina to collect a $50 million ransom.

"I think that we would return to anything Abigail-related in a heartbeat. There's no design to do that," Gillett told ComicBook."We didn't go into this movie with any design to do that, because our favorite movies and the movies we love to make are ones that do feel like they have a really definitive and satisfying character end. Even if there are certain things that are left unfinished, we also love stories that exist outside of the frame.

Described as"a brash, blood-thirsty new vision of the vampire flick," Abigail has received favorable reviews from early reactions. One critic wrote that Abigail is"essentially a spiritual sequel to their breakout hit" Ready or Not, and the film is currently fresh at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems that the blood-sucking ballerina stuck the landing.
