Abattoir is a good film. Period. Though it's stock with inherent problems most movies have this movie left me with a ton of questions, in a good way. It inspired my creativity and curiosity into the universe created by the filmmakers. I felt some of the characters were a little flat at times but I cared about the main girl and I was committed to her journey which is paramount to the enjoyment of a film. If I were to say anything negative it would be that we didn't get to spend enough time in the Abattoir. I kept wanting the movie to get there and it took a bit long IMO. Other than that I really liked to tone and character dynamic as well as the delivery from the villain: Jebediah Crone. The casting in this movie is spot on. From the way we're introduced to Julia and Grady to the final arch of the bad guy the characters are enticing throughout. I enjoyed the cross genre concept as it gave an unsettling tone while I watched and wondered where I would end up. The film feels like it spans decades and in the end DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! 8/10
