Annabelle (2014) Movie Review
Annabelle (2014) is a supernatural horror film and a prequel to The Conjuring. It follows a young couple, Mia and John, whose lives spiral into terror as they become targets of a satanic cult, all linked to a possessed doll named Annabelle. The film effectively builds suspense and creates a chilling atmosphere, bolstered by strong performances, particularly from Annabelle Wallis as Mia. While it features familiar horror tropes and delivers some genuine scares, critics note it lacks the depth and originality of its predecessor, relying more on jump scares than character development. Overall, Annabelle is an entertaining watch for horror fans, especially those who appreciate supernatural themes, but may feel predictable to seasoned genre enthusiasts.
