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.

Abby Needs A Proper DVD Release
Abby is a hilarious Blaxploitation knock-off of The Exorcist. Carol Speed really did a great job as a minister's wife who is possessed by an African sex demon. William Marshall was his usual awesome self as well. I'm just waiting for a remastered version. This Cinefear so-called Black Exorcist Edition is okay as long as nothing else is available but it's time for BCI, Anchor Bay, or someone with clout to put out a quality dvd. After years of Beyond The Door, The Omen, and countless other possession films, it's time for Warner Brothers to stop tripping (if they still are) and let somebody give Abby the treatment it deserves. Cinefear has made more than enough money with their grainy, scratchy, hand me down offering.

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.

I seen this movie long time ago I gave it 4 stars cause I haven't watch it yet but I did soul searching on it to find this movie the price I paid was a little high for such an old movie.

Abby Needs A Facelift!
This is a very poor quality DVD; Looks like a bad VHS transfer, and the sound is equally poor. That's too bad because the plot is interesting, about a devout woman who becomes possessed by a sex demon (yikes!). William Marshall's in this one, a great classically trained actor, but actors have to eat too, and during the so-called blaxploitation era, movies like this abounded.Whoever owns the rights to Abby PLEASE consider a re-mastering of the source film!
