While I am enjoying ‘The Conjuring Movies” I’m not overly enthused about the focus on just one case from Ed and Lorraine Warren’s files. It seems a bit wrong somehow. But anyway, onto the movie itself.
I do usually enjoy origin movies, they’re some of my favorites actually, but this one is somehow, not there. I know the story of Annabelle, I mean what horror enthusiast doesn’t at this point? The tale of the two nurses hounded by a possessed Raggedy Ann doll is a bit classic at this point.
The idea of going into her origins, and going a bit off the rails as I’m pretty sure that this movie is completely fictitious, is a bit too far. The movie itself isn’t bad, it’s full of jump scares, lots of screaming girls, and lonely disfigured woman, distraught parents, orphans, and a nun, well, the tropes are all there.
I guess I’m not a fan of the “Annabelle” series then.
