Annabelle (2014)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

best movie i've ever seen.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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 (2014)' is a load of self-important, monotonous trite throughout, representative of the worst that modern horror has to offer and a far cry from the stellar series it is so awkwardly spun off from. It's a ham-fisted and canon crunching off-shoot made for the sole purpose to milk money from a financially successful franchise. The plodding plot might as well be on a treadmill, the characters are as dull as safety scissors, the story makes little to no sense and the scares are so aggressively puerile that you'll struggle to even pay attention to most of them, especially considering that the feature itself is one of the most painfully boring I have seen in a long while. You'd have thought they could've conjured up something better than a doll that can't seem to move when it's on camera. 3/10

This movie goes in line with such horror classics as Barbaras Baby, the Exorcist, The Omen etc. It takes the time it needs to fully develop characters, to make you feel for them (if that is in your capability) and fear for their sake. It's classic, sometimes subtle horror, with really well placed jump scares (and I've watched a lot of horror movies). It's definitely not a splatter nor a thriller nor a teeny-screamy, so don't expect one. This is a movie of a young family that is haunted by evil. The characters a believable, good-hearted and intelligent, and a hard crack for the evil forces that haunt them. It's ending doesn't come as such a surprise - thus only 9 stars - but it will keep watchers on the edges of their seats anyway. I'd recommend it for mature viewers, that love classic horror.

After watching Conjuring, I felt really excited when I knew that Annabelle will have a movie. I'm a horror fan that's why even if I really don't know much about making a movie but still I trust my own point of view if the horror movie that I'm watching is good or awful. Well, let me talk about the movie first, the effects was really great and very much appreciated the scene where the main character was looking at the little girl in the next room then suddenly run to her and show that creepy woman. It was really great. But the main character, the mother. .I don't know but her acting wasn't good at all! Maybe acting skill like Vera Farmiga and the one who acts as mother in the Insidious 1 and 2 (sorry I forgot the name) would really give justice to the movie. Just imagine, there are times in the movie where i really don't see or feel any frightening emotions on the mother's face - I just don't like her acting that truly ruins the movie (in my own point of view) because in all scenes, she has the scene were "supposedly" take the movie into a more scary one but she always fails to do so.However, the movie was good but I will never want to see that actress again in a horror movie because if she does, i will never have a chance even glimpse at it.
