Annabelle (2014)
Directed by John R.
Leonetti this spin-off prequel to The Conjuring (2013) stars
Annabelle Wallis, War Horton, Alfre Woodard and Tony Amendola. We
learn how a doll becomes evil and menaces a couple that have just had
their first child.
It is hard to pin down
why but I found this to be a decidedly boring stumble through a
number of well travelled genre elements. Perhaps the biggest problem
is that we know too much before the story even starts and I am not
sure the ending really makes sense. Both the director and cast do
their best but ultimately have little to work with thanks to the
script.
2/5
