For those who don't know me, I love horror flicks. So when the film Annabelle got released today,
I couldn't wait to watch it. If you have watched The Conjuring, Annabelle acts as a prequel/spin-off.
Trailer
To be frank, I didn't have high expectations that this film would likely scare the bejesus outta me...BOY I WAS WRONG, it was pretty scary! Like you wouldn't expect a fugly looking doll to scare you right? Prepare yourself as this one has some surprises up it's sleeves.
I have to give credits to the sound guys, no doubt that the soundtrack played a huge part for the terrifying chills. It created a really scary atmosphere that just left you so uneasy.
One of the main reasons why I was so eager to watch this film was the guy who produced it, James Wan. He is the genius who directed Saw, Insidious, Insidious: Chapter 2 and The Conjuring.
He really knows how to scare the audience without the gore, (ok accept Saw lol) or visual effects, sticking to old skool horror. So if you like those types of films, definitely worth watching Annabelle.
Downside I didn't quite like the ending, I thought it was a tad predictable? and watching it in a packed cinema ruined it as you always get some people laughing hysterically or screaming like crazy lol.
At the end credits, it states that the real Annabelle doll is contained in a glass box where The Warrens keep it safe.... DUN DUN DUNNNN!
My verdict is 7/10!
So what do you guys think? Have you seen it yet? Let me know what you think :)

Which one's scarier, Anabelle or The Conjuring?
ReplyDeleteHmm hard one but I think Annabelle? Its similar to Insidious. some scary surprises
ReplyDeleteAnnabelle is more jumpy whereas conjuring has a great story line.
ReplyDeleteI think this movie would have been better watched at home. The laughter in the cinema (Westfield Stratford) ruined the scary atmosphere I was looking forward to. But, yes, overall and awesome movie :)
