This is spine-tingling on the edge of my seat movie. Did not disappoint.

I was thinking that they couldn't do much with this story since it was based off the doll.... wow was I wrong. A must own.

A chilling follow-up tale of the movie, "The Conjuring." This is a good 'scare-you' movie to watch right before you go to bed. This movie is supposedly based on a true incident, one that was investigated by famed demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren. The movie depicts a scary looking doll, as shown on the video case cover. Why anyone would want to purchase a doll who looks like this is a matter for psychologists to figure out. The true-story actual doll, however, was supposed to be Raggedy-Ann doll. I guess the movie producers felt it necessary to spike-up the fright factor by making the doll look demonistic to begin with. In my humble opinion, the innocent looking Raggedy-Ann doll would have given the movie an even more sinister twist.

This is a pretty decent movie as long as you're familiar - even a little bit - with the Conjuring universe. If you don't know about the mythology behind the Annabelle doll, this will not be as satisfying as it could be. Of all the entries in the franchise, I think this one is least able to stand on its own.

I'm one of those few people who had never seen this movie before. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it more than I expected. Not one of the best horror movies that I've seen, but was enjoyable and entertaining nevertheless. Enough that I'll probably watch the sequels.
