This film introduces newly married and pregnant couple John (Ward Horton) and Mia Foreman (Annabelle Wallis) approximately 12 years after Annabelle Creation. It’s advised to watch with company and in the comfort of a home, there are scenes of suicide, blood, the occult, and your average gore. Make sure to grab your popcorn for this one because it is a fear driven adrenaline rush. Surprisingly to viewers though, it was not the case study from Ed and Lorraine Warren that was teased before, it was a completely brand new story that, at the time, viewers thought was the reason the doll was possessed. When this film came out, it was the long-awaited story of the Annabelle doll that was very briefly showcased in the original Conjuring movie. Also, who doesn’t love an origin story? Even if it is about a creepy murderous doll.
