Annabelle

Tis time to move on from conduit demons.

*** This review contains minor spoilers ***

It doesn't have James Wan's name on the director's chair, but it's every inch a James Wan film. There seems to be a rut that has emerged where this new brand of horror film makers can't see that recycling the same ideas is, well, kinda dull.

Insidious, Dead Silence and The Conjuring have their critics (not me, I like them all very much), but the timing was right for them to hit the mark of many a horror film lover. Tapping into the fear of the doll and the demon hadn't been done for some time, certainly not with any conviction, so all good there for the fans.

Annabelle spins off from The Conjuring, and Dead Silence to a degree, but just comes of...

I personally am of the opinion that The Conjuring was pretty overrated, but I at least I could see why some people thought it was okay. Annabelle on the other hand, was never at any point anything other than hackneyed, unoriginal garbage. No saving graces to be found here.

Final rating: - Of no value. Avoid at all costs.

The movie isn't really that scary. It's still a good movie. Just that dam porcelain doll looks creepy as hell.
