Annabelle

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Annabelle borrows unabashedly from better horror films, content to leave viewers with a string of cheap jolts that fail to build on the far more effective The Conjuring.

Richard Corliss TIME Magazine Quality is often irrelevant in a horror movie; shock is the key. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Bruce Diones New Yorker The script, by Gary Dauberman, is a clichd mess, lacking humor and surprises. But Leonetti stages some fright-worthy sequences ... Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) The scares are orchestrated with more flair than usual, even if the best of them are all spoiled in the trailer. Rated: 3/5 Oct 11, 2014 Full Review Brian Bisesi Horror Movie Club Podcast Though the film has the solid production design, cinematography and score that one can typically expect from The Conjuring Universe, the story and its characters are dull, lifeless, and generic. Rated: 2/5 Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Annabelle” often teases us with what it potentially could have been. It lays out a promising premise but it never goes beyond the routine run-of-the-mill horror flick that we have seen over and over. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A tired procession of supernatural horror clichés. Rated: 0.5/4 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
