Review of Annabelle (2014) by Lamontraymond — 02 Oct 2014
I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to call out Kyle Smith of the Post, Inkoo Kang of The Wrap, and Michael Phillips of the Tribune - you all gave this travesty a positive review. You should turn in your critic card - yesterday.
This is a horrible movie that commits the cardinal sin of horror movies - it bores the hell out of you. Nothing happens in this film. It's as if the movie's been sitting on the shelf for about 15 years, and the writers/director haven't seen anything that's come out in the horror genre since then.
Really embarrassing for Warner Bros. Godawful crap. Please, do yourself a favor, horror fans, and go see The Guest, Honeymoon, or any number of really good horror movies released this year. Better yet, go check out You're Next or A Horrible Way to Die from Adam Wingard - one director who is doing horror right these days.
One more note on Annabelle - it seems that any form of entertainment that employs Alfre Woodward these days - be it Copper, Last Ship, True Blood etc. - officially jumps the shark when she appears. I loved her in her early career, but she spells doom for whatever she's in lately.
