Annabelle

Annabelle isn't perfect - hell, it isn't even as good as The Conjuring - but despite its unconvincing climax, it's got moments of spine-tingling horror that do the trick.

...in comparison to The Conjuring — with its fantastic cast of actors and its sub-text of research and years of pain — Annabelle pales.

Manages to overcome weak writing and every single horror film cliche created by mankind by delivering a few unexpected scares. Go for it, if that's exactly what you're looking for.

Annabelle alights on most horror tropes but comes across as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Still, it will give you your money's worth, while not really serving you anything too memorable (or scary) as some of the other, more sinister horror films we've seen in the last few years.

s. Some of the scenes might give the faint-hearted sleepless nights. But, if you are genuinely willing to get scared, you can give Annabelle a miss.

A none-too-exciting prequel to last year's overrated The Conjuring, Annabelle plunders elements from its genre predecessors including the Child's Play series featuring that demonic doll.
