If you told me 3 years ago that i'd really like the sequel to Ouija and Annabelle I would've told you to get fucked.
I think it's safe to say,
at this point, that it would
do Lulu Wilson some good to
just stay away from both dolls
and board games altogether.
(Also, man, these folks
were some deep sleepers.)
In my theater for this, every time a character would do something, a girl sitting next to my dad (think I recognize her from some prep school near me) would scream about how "fucking stupid this bitch is". Uhhhhhhhhhh, one of my biggest pet peeves is calling out characters in horror movies for supposedly inhuman stupidity that wouldn't pass in a real world situation... or would it? The worst example of this that I've heard oh-so-often is the whole Saw argument which is "WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOOT OFF THE CHAIN??? INSTEAD OF CUTTING OFF THE FOOT???" If you were in the Saw bathroom by the point in which they were where a fucking foot is being cut off, you've seen…

A prequel to a spin-off prequel to the Conjuring. What a way to expand your universe. This Conjuring connected universe is total bullshit. They keep shoveling shit from the same steaming pile of dung while staying snug and cosy within the shitty genre conventions. This prequel to a prequel is so lazy relying on constant jump scares in a way that it is not effective at all. In no way do we get a decent origin story or even a drip of mythology. Hey, I liked those two Conjuring flicks but those Annabelle movies are as safe as a baby diaper. No leakage, no exciment.
Last 30 mins is balls to the wall scary awesome horror. First part of the movie has some good scares as well
Ok, I wanna get a bit more serious with this. Annabelle: Creation is the agglomeration of everything that bothers me in modern studio horror filmmaking.
It's a calculated product that barely takes any risks and lacks any kind of vision. That's not to say that it isn't a servicable crowdpleaser with some fun ideas, but even the worst horror films can sneak their way into my heart if they have a strong identity or a beating heart.
I really liked the first Annabelle and I genuinely enjoyed Sandberg's Lights Out, and since the clock struck hot take o'clock, I also had a blast with the nonsensicality of The Nun and admired the ballsy twist in Insidious: The Last Key. Mind…
Definitely an example of a sequel being better than the first. I bought this on blu-ray not expecting too much given how much I didnt care for the first one.
What I thought was really clever with this movie is how it tied all of the Conjuring Universe movies together.
Sure it was mostly jump scares but the eerie atmosphere was far more palpable.
A horror film more focused on loud noise scares than anything actually scary. An improvement on the first film but not in the same league as conjuring
The Conjuring movies are relatively respectable as far as big dumb haunted house movies go, but man, these spin-offs are just embarrassing. Annabelle: Creation is slightly better than this year’s awful The Nun, but in some ways it’s every bit as stupid. Not much more to say, really. It’s just another lame whiff of a horror movie that goes through the motions with relative competence, but doesn’t bring anything creative or fun to the table.
