Annabelle Comes Home

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :)

I went to this movie not expecting much, but it never crossed my mind that I would be watching a film as bad or worse than The Nun. Honestly, going back, I was too easy on the latter since I didnt exactly give it a massively negative review, which it surely deserves. However, Annabelle Comes Home really tries its best to be even worse. I hate it. I truly do. The horror genre has been exponentially growing, and its one of the two most popular genres right now (comic-book movies are the other), but this cheap, bland, cliche, predictable, and forgettable class of horror films is genuinely starting to annoy and frustrate me. The Conjuring Universe became just a set of sil...

I was a little less worried about a third Annabelle movie than I was the second one, because, well this came off the back of that second one, and that second one was okay. But that second one came off the back of the first Annabelle movie... And that was a fucking disaster. Lots of people say that the whole Conjuring franchise is a cool thing, but nothing has come close to the quality of that first The Conjuring movie. Respectfully, I disagree. The franchise as a whole is okay, but not only is has something better come out post-The Conjuring, furthermore, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the first Conjuring movie isn't even really that good. The only entry I've given a favourable review ("favourable" here meaning "more than a 5 out...

Hopefully this brings an end to a dreadful trilogy. Not as terrible as the first one at least but this had nothing to offer and yet another one of these movies where an evil supernatural entity seems more intent on f'ing around with the characters rather than actually harming them. One upside was the acting at least wasn't terrible and, albeit they were only in it for 10-minutes, I did like seeing Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. 1.75/5

This movie is easily my favorite out of the series. Cause not only are they dealing with annabelle but they have to deal with multiple ghost and haunting.

...and the moral of the story is: stop with these third rate sequels! This is derivative in almost every conceivable way and is presented in the most clumsy, cack-handed manner. "Judy" (Mckenna Grace) really ought to have known better than go into a locked room full of her parent's (Vera Farmiga & Patrick Wilson) ancient gismos in the first place, let alone start interfering with things locked in sacred glass cases. So much for the defence against the dark arts blessing, too - as "Annabelle" goes a-terrifying. Scary? Well no, The only thing frightening for me was the price of the Maltesers on my way into the cinema! Please God they never open that cabinet again.
