What ensues, while notAnnabelle Comes Home has the titular possessed doll causing a ruckus in the Warren's collection of cursed objects unleasing the creatures in the house in what the creators call a scary version of Night at the Museum. What ensues, while not the scariest film in the Conjuring-verse, is a fun experience.

This movie is more upbeat than the last two Annabelle movies (including a few funny lines.) Kind of surprising considering that this is written and directed by Gary Dauberman, who wrote the last two films. The ending to the last film is one of the darkest in the Conjuring franchise, so Dauberman's pivot is surprising. However, since this revolves around the house and daughter (Mckenna Grace) of the stars of the main film line, I can see why Dauberman didn't want to do anything that would really rock the boat and affect them in the long run. Also, it'd just be hard to compete with the tone of the last film, which in my opinon was the best.

Understand that when I say this is more upbeat, I'm not saying this film isn't scary. It just has more of a popcorn/funhouse horror feel. Ever since the Warrens' collection of possessed and cursed objects was introduced, I think everyone has been itching to explore them more, and you definitely get your payoff. There are some pretty creepy ghosts in here, including one inventive being that isn't in the commercials and I won't spoil.

I do wish the other ghosts were given more to do. Annabelle still bears the load. I just wanted to see the ghosts have some more physicality and violence. (Yes, the samurai armor from the earlier films is still in the collection. No, it doesn't unsheathe it's sword. I know, right?!) Also, there is one ghost who mostly tangles with Michael Cimino's character that is mostly done using computer animation and doesn't work as well as the other more practical-looking monsters.

Considering that this is a first time director, this looks pretty nice. There are some nicely shot scares. They don't compete with the best of the series, but they work. A lot of thought must have went into the set design. This really looks like it takes place during the seventies.

The three main leads are pretty likable, especially Katie Sarife's character. At first you worry that she's the stereotypical party friend to the lead who makes bad decisions. Yeah, she kind of does that latter part, but her character goes in a way that is unexpected and fleshes her out.

If you were looking forward to seeing Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed Warren (Patrick WIlson), be prepared that they really aren't in this that much.

I'd rank this above Annabelle 1, The Nun, and La Llorona, and below the Conjurings and Annabelle Creation. This isn't the scariest or most technically proficient film in the franchise, but this doesn't miss by that much. If you're just looking for something visually interesting that is just trying to entertain, then I recommend this.… Expand

This story does echo familiar with certain thematics/aspects that we've seen in this film universe, with youth being the focal point surrounded by the paranormal phenomenon. The plot does take a little bit of time to develop and maybe spends too much time trying to develop some of the characters before anything really exciting does happen. Once things do start going bump, it does get very fast paced and thoroughly foreboding at times all while staying grounded with the plot.

The overall setting of the Warren house fits the particular story very well and adds nice substance with the artifacts room. The late 60s ambience is perfectly done and sets a terrific tone, and the lighting/ camera work is phenomenal as usual for the series. There are many different callbacks to other films in the universe with familiar entities as well as a few new very creepy ones making frightful sporadic appearances. It almost acts as a conjuring universe greatest hits if you will which isn't a bad thing and was actually quite fun. The finale finishes off the film in excellent fashion with with a fantastic culmination of events, and once again I was left wanting more for the series, be it another Annabelle or the upcoming conjuring 3.

Some of the scares also get a little bit cliché at times but they do enough to keep them fresh a majority of the time. Overall this gets the conjuring universe back on track after the last 2 middling to decent films released (The Nun/La LLorona). If you enjoy the series/universe, this is a must see.… Expand

People could argue that it’s so we willFirst 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.… Expand

I'll admit, I've participated in most of these "Conjuring" spin-off films (with the exception of "The Curse Of La Llorona" and the first "Annabelle"). Begrudgingly so, I might add, for none of them have really offered any sort of satisfaction, entertainment value, or long-lasting impression of any sort. So where else was I supposed to set my expectations for this third film other than at "dangerously low" levels? Turns out I misjudged things. No, "Annabelle Comes Home" doesn't revamp the horror movie fabric or even represent an outstanding version of what it sets out to be. But it also doesn't suck. At all, even. It's a damn fine time, featuring surprisingly well-thought-out characters, simple, yet effective performances, and even a few scares here and there that felt fresh and new. Again, it's not anything to fervently write home about, but considering the minimal emotional investment I deposited going into the theater, the returns I ended up getting are astounding.… Expand

Caught it on the day of release in the UK.

Annabelle comes home for the third in the series actually does it's job fairly well. A typical haunted house movie with some stand out moments & a decent story to go along with it.

Simple horror fun.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 7
Acting: 8
Plot: 7

The infamous and evil doll, Annabelle, returns to the big screen once again for the seventh instalment in The Conjuring Universe and it serves as a sequel to 2014’s Annabelle and 2017’s Annabelle: Creation. This instalment also marks the return of famous paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren including their daughter, Judy Warren.

Taking place directly after the prologue and before the main story of The Conjuring, Ed and Lorraine Warren took custody of the Annabelle doll from the two nurses, whom the doll terrorised them. The Warrens believed that the doll was too dangerous and they locked the doll in a sacred glass to contain the evil and place it in the artifacts room within their house.

After the events of The Conjuring, the Warrens are leaving town for a night to investigate a case and they left a babysitter named Mary Ellen (Iseman) to look after Judy (Grace) while they are away. Mary’s friend, Daniela Rios (Sarife), unexpectedly shows up at the house to join her friend. While Mary and Judy are outside, Daniela breaks into the artifacts room.

Ignoring the warning sign inside the artifacts room, she touches all of the haunted artifacts and opens the sacred glass where the Annabelle doll is locked in. As she hears Mary and Judy returning, she quickly left the room but she forgets to lock the sacred glass. Thanks to Daniela’s actions, the three girls are about to have one hell of a night and horror experience that they will never forget.

Although it is great to see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their role since 2016’s The Conjuring 2, you should not expect them to play the main role because they only supporting characters and only appear during the beginning and at the end of the movie. Judy Warren is the main character in this movie and it is also great to have her in the main role since she only has minor roles in the first two Conjuring movies.

Mckenna Grace, Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife have done a great job with their performance similar to how the casts of Annabelle: Creation have done with their performance. The three young actresses really put in a lot of effort into their acting which is very impressive and not too bland.

Gary Dauberman, who made his directorial debut and served as writer and executive producer of the previous instalments, has done a great job in making this movie real good. Being attached as director for this movie is a great choice because Dauberman has the most experience in this horror franchise. The movie would have end up worst if he is not the director.

Although some jump scares are quite predictable and you can see it coming from afar, the jump scares are not being overuse just to make the movie scary like most of the today’s horror movies. While the movie is certainly not scary like the first two Conjuring and Annabelle: Creation, at least Dauberman tried his best to make movie look fun and enjoyable. While this movie does not beat Annabelle: Creation in terms of quality, this movie is still better than the first Annabelle.… Expand

A surprisingly well-acted, well-shot, and frightening film. Filled with dread, suspense, and a refreshing sense of humor and pace to the overall story. A few cheesy moments and ineffective scares, but I was seriously impressed with most of the movie.

A shallow film, does not delve into anything, does not scare, does not frighten. On the contrary, it amuses and makes you laugh. But despite its holes and mistakes, it's good fun and a great expansion to the Conjuring universe.

Annabelle Comes Home was another new thrilling intense ride from The Conjuring universe focuses on the iconic Annabelle doll once again resulted in again one of the goods Non-Conjuring movie in The Conjuring universe and simply the best in the Annabelle trilogy, i like the pretty sweet return of Ed and Lorraine Warren even though they didn't in it much, now the movie leads by the Warren's daughter, her babysitter and her babysitter friends perform nicely by Mckenna Grace, Madison Iseman, and Katie Sarife, in terms of their characters i can see people's hating on Katie Sarife character Daniela but i just didn't see why because even though it's stupid what she did at least she have a pretty acceptable reason for a horror movie at least and i'm fine with her the whole time, Bob was the one that i found as another unnecessary sort of comic relief of the film same as Frenchie in The Nun but again i don't hate him, sure it's cheesy at times, one pretty cheap jumpscare, a couple of times and definitely more when Mckenna Grace just delivers a very cheesy line in a serious way and i just can't take it, all the Bob scene was whatever, i'm not so big on the wolf monster, and that's about it, Annabelle Comes Home still contained a pretty creative scary build up and set up, it have that James Wan's inspired in it, love the other demons besides Annabelle that they showed, and the story itself, the atmosphere, the tension was really there and compare to Annabelle Creation which i found not that scary, the first Annabelle was scary, and Annabelle Comes Home is even scarier, so overall i really enjoyed Annabelle Comes Home, it's entertaining to watch, i was invested to the story, the characters, the tension, the scare were all there, it's flawed and have some problems in it but overall Annabelle Comes Home is still for me another good Non-Conjuring movie in The Conjuring Universe, and the best in the Annabelle trilogy.… Expand

The third Annabelle film isn't as good as part 2, but has some good scares. Overall it feels more like a modern day Hammer Horror, as the cheese factor is increased to be more marketable to tweens.
