Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Annabelle is a movie starring Ward Horton, Annabelle Wallis, and Alfre Woodard. A couple begins to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists. Althought it's nowhere near as good as the first 2 Conjuring films, Annabelle is definitely better than the awful sequel that followed and to be honest the setting for the film for the most part was right since it was creepy enough and the acting was alright for the most part although the story is quite interesting it could have been better for sure and it's definitely not as bad as you might have heard from other viewers and in the end it's a watchable prequel. (7/10)

Annabelle is not as great as everyone says. In my perspective, it was because most of the horrifying parts of the movie were basically in the trailer. But this movie is not terrible to watch, just not a great horror film to watch if you want to be scared.

"Annabelle" is a horror movie in which we watch a couple being attacked at their own house by some members of a satanic cult. After this attack by the members of a satanic cult who violently attack the couple, the blood and terror which spilled all over the house are not the only thing they leave behind. The couple starts to observe some terrifying supernatural occurrences that involve a vintage doll.I expected more from this movie and had high expectations because I had previously watched the movie "The Conjuring" and since there was a connection between these movies I had some expectations from it. I did not notice the budget of this film before I watched it which is only $6.5 million something that's obvious in the whole duration of the movie. There are not so many scary scenes and the few they are in this film they are old school, they do scare you but I expected more because I compared it with "The Conjuring". I liked the plot which was simple and gave us some information regarding the connection of this movie with "The Conjuring". I liked the interpretation of Annabelle Wallis who played as Mia and she was very good in this role. To sum up I have to say that "Annabelle" is an interesting movie for anyone to watch. It's a good average - medium horror movie which introduces us to this satanic vintage doll and makes us expect even more in the future. I recommend it to everyone to watch it because you will have an interesting but not so much terrifying time watching it.

I've been on a Conjuring series binge recently. I enjoyed Conjuring 1 & 2 and rated them both 10/10. This spin off, Annabelle, however... unfortunately this one was kinda weak, not in the same class as the other two. Now I'm just hoping the sequel, Annabelle: Creation, will be an improvement.Something about this one just didn't work that well. I guess, one problem would be that the scares seemed over-reliant on some of the same repeated tricks: flickering lights, or some machine turning on when no one's around, or sounds of a baby crying, or something appearing in the room behind a character. The movie repeated these tricks so often that throughout the movie I actually found myself constantly correctly guessing what kind of trick is going to be coming next.And everything felt a little too static. In other words, motionless, if you know what I mean. The premise does revolve around a doll, of course, but for too much of the time in this movie, the scares are supposed to be coming from nothing that's visibly moving on screen and that just ends up kind of unexciting.There was also a problem with some underdeveloped characters and potential plot lines that go nowhere: The kids on the stairs, the noisy upstairs neighbors, the bookstore owner whose occult connections were barely explained, etc.I should end with some positive though. Annabelle Wallis is pretty good at acting scared and has no hint of her real-life English accent when she speaks, so let's all applaud her acting talents.And the best moment in the movie involved a child running towards a closing door. I won't say anymore, except that it was a great scene and I'm really astonished that they managed to achieve that shot, however they did it.
