Annabelle movie review

Last week I saw Annabelle, the much anticipated prequel follow up, to the wildly successful horror film, The Conjuring. This film features the twist demonic doll that was featured in The Conjuring film and loosely inspired Chucky and the Child's Play films. Backstory of the film is set in the 1960s, with a young married couple living in California.

 Wife Mia loves dolls, Husband John buys pregnant wife doll that happens to be Annabelle, which is a doll possessed, and all hell brakes loose. Mia and John experience a home invasion by two members of a Satanic cult. A female cult member stabs Mia in the stomach just as the police arrive and is shot, bleeding onto the Annabelle doll as she dies. The married couple and baby survives and is born fine. However, there is a deep supernatural uneasiness lurking underneath the surface, and the couple moves homes after Mia begins to experience paranormal events she believes are linked to the attack. James Wan scares are highly effective in Anabelle especially seeing them on the big giant screen at the Drive Inn. "Shop 2CoolGhouls for Halloween"

 

  The scene in the basement and the elevator creeps me out the most without giving to much away. Overall Anabelle wasn't as good as The Conjuring but still good Halloween horror flick to see on a Saturday night.
