Annabelle Comes Home (DVD)

One of the better (well, spookier by complication!) Conjureverse movies. Notably, multiple spooks & demons instead of just one, with Annabelle "Beeing" the ringleader, terrorizing Judy Warren by using multiple incarnations! Also a bittersweet story of one of the teen girls attempting to contact her dead father, producing a nice resolution - considering all of the trouble she caused! Oh yeah, the Warrens (Judy's parents) are also in this to a significant degree, making for a satisfying inclusion for all Conjureverse fans! Overall, a layered movie that still delivers the tingles, with a modest peppering of jump scares.

Great movie, I had never seen it.

Good movie

Overall a fun popcorn flick that falls somewhere between Annabelle (for which I didn’t really care) and Annabelle: Creation (which was loads of fun). I have criticisms, but not really any major complaints. My only disappointment rests in direct comparisons to The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016) and Annabelle: Creation (2017).With Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) returning as main characters, this feels almost as much like The Conjuring 2.5 than an Annabelle film. And with how randomly tropey the supernatural entities and their actions have become, it measures a bit shy of being worthy of either. But hold on, I’m not saying it’s a bad movie—just not a great franchise installment.Babysitting for Ed and Lorraine’s daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace), Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman) and her nosey friend Daniela (Katie Sarife) end up freeing Annabelle’s demon to unleash her evil influence on those unlucky enough to be nearby. At first it’s just a little startling. But eventually we get some good atmosphere and scares.A wolfen beast attacks from the annoyingly thick and abundant mist, a murderous spectral bride terrifies the household, empty rocking chairs rock on their own, spirits pace out of focus in the background, evil animated shadows, oddly prophetic TVs, and then there’s the Ferryman... that dude is creepy! This Annabelle doll is, of course, also incredibly creepy. Influenced by a demon and serving as a beacon for lost spirits, Annabelle is a magnet of malady. Seeing her under the sheets of the bed (with you in it) was a joyous shock.First-time director Gary Dauberman (writer; Annabelle: Creation, It, Swamp Thing) seems to have tried to capture the more varied and flavorful threats of The Conjuring 2 (2016). The demon Valek, the Cooked Man; both were well-storied additions to that 2016 sequel. Yet here our varied additions’ introductions held less gravity, and their subsequent sightings less impactful (beyond the excellent jump scares). But make no mistake. I may criticism, but this becomes a rollercoaster of dreadful frights and engaging jumps. It’s just that… remember when the shadowy silhouette of the dog transmuted into the Crooked Man? That will stick with me! Nothing really from this film will... at least, not too much.Overall a fun popcorn flick. I have criticisms, but not really any major complaints. My only disappointment rests in comparisons to The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016) and Annabelle: Creation (2017).

Very well done movie in all aspects.The Warrens are in the beginning and the end.Rest is their daughter, her babysitter and a girlfriend, and this guy - "Bob's got balls" is what he is called.McKenna Grace is the daughter, and this girl can act. I love her in this role and frankly every other movie she has been in. Many well after this was made. Her looks, expressions - she is great.The storyline is pretty neat."The room" with all the evil trinkets is locked of course, and naturally the girlfriend wants to go in.......and.....well you can imagine - -Annabelle and the rest do their thing.Its a nice watch, and I really enjoy seeing it every 6 months or so along with the other Annabelle's and Conjuring's.

Love is movie!

Great condition!

Good, entertaining
