Annabelle [Blu-ray] [$5 Movie Money] [2014]

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.

Disregard the title. I was just following by example. In all honesty, the movie wasn’t horrible. My handicap-able mother purchased the movie 3 times on my smart tv by accident. It was an ordeal getting the movie refunded every time. As a joke, I bought her the movie for Christmas. She hated it. But don’t be dis swayed! My mom doesn’t have a taste for horror films so her review should also be disregarded. I haven't actually finished the movie yet. It seems scary. Worked amazingly as an inside joke! Best, - Nick K

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 was a pretty good movie. The acting and script was very solid. The entire movie had this creepy vibe because it is a bit of a mystery of whats going on. It seems that the doll is possessed by a demon. I won't go until plot due to spoilers. Its definitely a move worth watching.

Annabelle is a well done horror picture about a mental patient who escapes from an asylum and attacks a young couple. The patient (Annabelle) is shot and killed by police while holding one of the female victim's dolls. Annabelle's blood drips onto the doll which becomes a connection to Annabelle's angry spirit. One of the best scary movies since the BABADOOK; (if you haven't heard of it, Google it and check it out.) Annabelle is definitely a winner.

This movie was the last movie I was looking to get to complete my Conjuring Universe collection. If you are a fan of the series then you must have this movie. I hope more movies come out to enhance the collection.

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.
