Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

christian-00619 Well...if you like horror movies and love sitting in the couch with a pillow, don't watch this movie. By all means, a good entertaining film - and that's it. Hint: if your child wants new dolls all the time, make her watch the movie - and "wupti"! Your wallet has been cured for never having money in it..

tyelder So uplifting to walk out of a horror film both scared to your core and amazed. I was blown away by this prequel-of-a-spinoff. This movie had genuine creepiness about it and has brought back life into the newly declared Conjuring universe and Annabelle, herself. This film far surpasses its predecessor and is one of the most surprising films of this year. Highly recommend for those itching for a great hair-raising horror flick. -TE (8.19.17)

iamtherobotman I'll keep this as short and to the point as is needed.Do not watch this pile of horse...manure!.One of the biggest wastes of near 2 hours I've ever sat through. How people can actually laud this is beyond me.Storyline? rubbish. Acting? rubbish. Script? was there one? Ok, it too was rubbish then. Whole concept? rubbish. Scares? oh you mean those 'jump' scares which were emailed to us a fortnight in advance? Those scares? rubbish.The whole thing is a cliché of a cliché of a cliché. What is it with this modern 'big budget' horror films that the score has to be the main aspect of the film?, Why does the scares have to be in your face, over the top and ( as mentioned earlier) emailed to you a fortnight in advance? Why does the lighting always have to be the same in every film? Insidious is exactly the same. For the first hour, I thought I was watching Insidious.These films will be laughed at in 10 years time. People will hide their heads in shame that they actually bought into the crap that was on offer with this. Films like this are killing the horror genre, they offer nothing. It's studios churning out conveyor belt mass produced crap that the masses fall over themselves to see. The sooner this obsession with utter nonsense like this is done, the better. Avoid this if you have any dignity. I for one feel like my dignity has been stripped by watching it, don't allow yourselves to be hollowed out too.

Neil Welch Doll-maker Samuel Mullins and his wife lose their daughter Annabelle ("Bee") when she is hit by a car. 12 years later, they take in 6 orphan girls and their young supervisory nun when their orphanage closes. Polio victim Janice experiences strange occurrences at night, and it gradually transpires that something unspeakable may have happened to Bee after her death. If you're going to make a doll, why on earth would you make it so that it looks as creepy as possible? Because the one thing you can be sure of is that if a doll looks creepy, it IS creepy.I liked the main location here - one of those hot, arid farms where all they seem to farm is dust. And it was good to see Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto playing parts which are a little off the beaten track for them. The youngsters are all fairly good, and the story meanders nicely on its way to setting up the events in Annabelle, itself a prequel to The Conjuring (which was not a prequel despite being followed by a sequel, The Conjuring 2). The destination is no surprise, but there is some interest in the view during the journey.It is, however, not even slightly horrific. There are sufficient loud noises etc. to make you jump fairly frequently, but that tends to be solely the result of a sudden assault on the senses, not because of anything inherently scary. Other than a creepy doll.
