Good B Movie
Purchased this because I enjoy B horror movies and because it was filmed in my hometown.
Just so you know, if it was not filmed in my hometown, I would still enjoy having this movie in my collection.
PROS: One of the best blaxploitation films. The corny, over-the-top acting is sure to entertain. Worthy to be labeled a 70s "midnight" or "grindhouse" film.
CONS: If you're like me, you enjoy a gitty, sometimes poor, film quality. It sets the right mood for a film of this type. However, beware, there is a mix of poor quality that suggest this version was transfered from a VHS version. Poor video and poor film quality are much different.

Scary as @#?!!!
The first and only time I seen this movie was at the tender age of 3. I must say that I was scared as @#*? when my mom, aunt, and I left that theatre. Many years has past since that movie debuted and I still remember the name "ABBY". When you think of Abby, zombie like features, wild hair, disgusting vomit, and a demon possessed woman running toward the movie screen, comes to mind every time. But overall, after 30 years, I think it would be a good movie to watch on halloween.

Stay away from Cinefear's pirate ripoff!
This is not a review of "Abby" per se, but rather a warning to stay away from the pirate (yes, pirate) disc released by the bootleg store Cinefear, of which the reviews below (probably planted by Cinefear itself) rave. WAIT for the proper upcoming DVD of "Abby" instead of buying the high-price, horrible-quality, shoddily-made Cinefear disc. Why should you avoid Cinefear's bootleg disc? Well, it's detailed e.g. here - http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=8516 - but for brevity, let me count some reasons:
- "Abby" was, of course, shot in widescreen. Cinefear's blatant lie on the cover is just an excuse for the fact that they made their bootleg disc full-screen only.
- Cinefear's "transfer" is an extremely ugly VHS transfer, full of tears, holes, smudges, artifacts, jumps and dirt. The sound is dull and hollow and the chapters freeze and skip. Their claim that this atrocity had been transferred from the original print is a blatant lie - you can actually find older pirate releases of "Abby" that look better than Cinefear's schlocky offer.
- There are no "many more" extras that Cinefear promises. A trailer, a radio spot, a description of the film and poster reproductions are there, and that's it.
- Cinefear asks the typical price of their pirate videos for "Abby", a price that is considerably higher than that of legal, high-quality DVDs.
Wait for the proper disc. Though Glen Danzig gave up its production, "Abby" *is* being prepared for a future release in a transfer from the actual film print, not an old VHS tape.
