Review of Annabelle Comes Home (2019) by Trineo99 — 28 Jun 2019

First of all, the pacing in this film was pretty bad. They spent a really long time focusing on the three characters that this haunting was going to happen to and in the end just made it really boring.

People could argue that it’s so we will care about them when everything goes down but it doesn’t work or at least in my case. This also leads to a super quick ending that just wraps up awkwardly. Also, I can’t hate on the film too much because it is Gary Dauberman’s first time directing but I think he overkilled it with the whole tension build up during some scenes.

Because there was a long build up to something it just lost its scare factor in some cases. The ending felt like three completely different films just mixed into one as if this one wouldn’t make enough to make the other two.

This isn’t that big of a deal but to the person in charge of making the house match up with the others failed. The clothes match up it’s just the house set that didn’t match up. But like I said this isn’t that big of a deal but it still just bugs me because I already know what the house looks like.

Will give the movie props for having a great atmosphere set up though because in every scene you knew what kind of scene it was going to be. But it also loses marks for not having bright enough lighting to see what was going on in certain scenes.

Everybody did decent jobs in the acting department. I thought I wasn’t going to like Mckenna Grace as Judy but in the end, she did an amazing job. I also loved seeing Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back as Ed and Lorraine.

In the end, Annabelle Comes Home is actually a pretty good movie that’s worth checking out. I give Annabelle Comes Home a 7.5/10.
