Review of Annabelle: Creation (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 10 Aug 2017

While 'The Conjuring' films have continued to impress me with their unique and creepy atmosphere, as well as their remarkable ability at relying much more heavily on building tension and suspense rather than cheap, loud and in-your-face jump scares, this second outing with the Annabelle doll easily falls into the latter, much like its predecessor unfortunately.

This became straight up laughable for me at times, due to the weak effort of creating any genuine scares or tension when almost every time, I, and I'm sure several others, saw almost every scare coming from at least a mile away before they even happen.

Some of the dialogue and moments throughout the film were just so ridiculous as well. Overall, it had the creepy atmosphere that at least made it a bit fun and eerie to watch, but "fun" is certainly not what I'm looking for in a horror film.

"Fun" is when I'm laughing or grinning at the predictability of a horror film rather than cowering in my seat in fear for most of it. Case in point.
