About this movie

Before The Conjuring, there was Annabelle. Capable of unspeakable evil, the actual Annabelle doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut -- visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month. In this supernatural thriller from producer James Wan, Annabelle's story begins before the evil was unleashed. John Form (Ward Horton -- The Wolf of Wall Street) has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia (Annabelle Wallis -- X Men: First Class) -- a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia's delight with Annabelle doesn't last long. On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now...Annabelle.

This was overhyped garbage, like paranormal activity. Sure, it had two exciting scenes that left you at the edge of your seat but after and before that is every movie cliché you have seen in an horror movie wrapped up in a ball. The movie, basically, in a nutshell is; a white upper class suburban couple whose expecting a child, the woman falling down multiple times, the husband (of course) does not expect anything, a sacrifice needs to be made to the devil. if you're into cliché movies, go ahead.

The real story of Annabelle is so much scarier than how the movie made it. Making her a creepy doll is so cliche, and the backstory of how she got there? I couldn't buy it. The real thing was a raggedy Anne doll that stood up on its own on walked around the house. How messed up is that? That's a hell of a lot creepier than a stereotypical creepy, dirty old doll sitting in a rocking chair. This movie is way too predictable to be even slightly good.

I don't hate this film, but it wasn't anything good. I think the only reason why I haven't rated one star is because I like the franchise. This is definitely a weak moment in the series. Annabelle Creation is definitely better and Annabelle Comes Home is enjoyable to watch. To be honest you can skip out on watching this movie all together and still enjoy the series. Its watchable, but not really a memorable film.
