Nonureva Really Surprised!
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
BelSports 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.
jonahcybarra-82318 Horror is simultaneously both the most overused and most underappreciated film genre. Horror is easy to make, it is cheap to make, and yet it is often done wrong and does a disservice to the genre as a whole. Annabelle toes that line but has a few specific scenes that help to carry it past other, forgettable horror films. One such scene is when the wife and mother in the movie Mia, played by Annabelle (Ironic) Wallis is dropping off boxes in her family's apartment's storage attic. The demon in the film, referred to as The Ram, appears and chases Mia into the elevator. Now this scene would normally be rather easy to write off, except that the elevator doesn't go down and opens up to the same storage attic again and again until she runs for an exit door. This film utilized both lighting, or lack thereof, and the purposeful use of a shaky camera to its advantage, building the tension and horror rather well. That being said, however, the acting wasn't the best, the story was quite predictable, and at times the film relied too heavily upon jump scares to keep the audience interested. All-in-all a decent film that gives its audience what they're looking for, a good scare.
songbirdmc Annabelle just doesn't scare me. Yes, the doll is creepy looking, but not enough, and it doesn't go beyond just the somewhat creepy looking doll. I don't have much to say other than this really isn't a scary movie. There are somewhat scary moments. There's one moment in particular that scared me, BUT that was about 5 seconds out of the whole film. This movie relies heavily on cheap jump scares so if that's not your thing keep that in mind.
Thanos Karagioras "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.
kucerarichard Starts off ok, some memorable effects, the initial creeps are creepy and the murder scenes are effective. The demon is interestingly done. The weaving in of socal 60s and manson murders and "cults" could have been more thoroughly explored, it was not made into major enough scenery. It's kind of tedious to have every one of these movies have to prove over and over that if you move out of the first house, the demon will follow you to the next house. Can we do something else? How about "stay in the first house", see where that goes?The ending is just inexplicably rushed or anti-climactic, like they were running out of film and had to cut it short. Not entirely convincing or scary, my haunted friend.
