Film Review - Annabelle
October 02, 2014
2013’s “The Conjuring” was a surprise box office smash, earning its success with a quality horror effort that was smart with suspense and well performed. Instead of a sequel to the picture, the studio has elected to cheapen the experience with a low-budget prequel/spin-off, hoping to cash in on a quickie horror release for the Halloween season. I’m sure most fans would rather have a proper “Conjuring” follow-up, but they’ll have to make do with “Annabelle,” a slack chiller that sets sail with startling confidence, only to sink when it actually has to follow through on its ghoulish promises, resulting in an uneven film that makes one truly appreciate the squeezing sense of terror “The Conjuring” offered.
