Annabella: Creation


My fiance and i absolutely love horror films, which is funny because when i was young scary movies would destroy me, and now I embrace and prefer them. I guess, its a conqueror of fear kinda thing, but its extremely difficult to find a horror film that DOESN"T INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE! You know the usual, "Lets split up." or tripping and falling right when the villain is on your tail. Well, this is the newest installment of the "The Conjuring" universe. Did it suck as badly as the designers of that doll, or was it a masterpiece in the horror genre? Lets find out:



Annabella: Creation- The second movie to spin off from the "The Conjuring", and this was a prequel to the first "Annabella" movie. This movie was already in hot water due to the previous film sucking something awful. The writers and directors of these films really know how to build anxiety in some of these scenes. To the point, my fiance damn near broke my arm, from an intense scary moment. There are more movies to follow, and I noticed they are making all the films some how become connected in some way.

Plot- A doll maker (Anthony Lapagila) and his wife (Miranada Otto), unfortunately, lose their little girl to a terrible and unforeseen accident. Years later, they open their home to a religious, all girl orphanage. 6 girls ranging in different ages, and their caretaker nun (Stephanie Sigman) move into this large home with hopes of finding homes for themselves. One little girl recovering from the effects of polio is being targeted by some unknown demonic force surrounding the doll, Annabella.

This movie was way better then the first one, and it really played on your psychological senses. Plus, it didn't insult your intelligence, which is why these movies work so well. Because sometimes in the film I would acted the same way the people did, and that places you in the disbelief more, scaring the crap out of you. 

Final Verdict-  7.5/10, the movie is done well, and really has some intense moments to scare the crap out of you.

This summer has gone by so freaking fast and I feel all the movies worth seeing came out before the summer even began. It is like the movie studios are putting movies out earlier, and then we have nothing to see during the summer.... oh well, this is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
