Quite simply, I gave this a one simply because of one or two brief scenes (the basement/elevator scene and the scene when the wife first sees the little Annabelle girl ghost in the apt.) that were slightly creepy. Overall this movie was godQuite simply, I gave this a one simply because of one or two brief scenes (the basement/elevator scene and the scene when the wife first sees the little Annabelle girl ghost in the apt.) that were slightly creepy. Overall this movie was god awful boring. At 22 minutes left (after the characters finally figured out a demon was involved) we were like "How are they going to wrap this up? That remaining 22 minutes includes credits!!" How they managed to do it was due to an EXTREMELY sloppy edit in which the main characters were confusingly all of a sudden at totally different places and with totally different characters then had been implied would occur a mere 5 seconds previously. Guess the editors realized they only had 22 or so minutes left as well and knew they had to cram everything in at once. Dull, predictable ending, No tension. Glad I only rented this. Very disappointed.… Expand

Não acredito que paguei pra ver isso sério, pelo amor de Deus, pior filme que já vi no cinema, Invocação do Mal foi um filme muito bom agora não vale nem a pena gastar seu precioso tempo vendo isso.

Don't bother seeing this movie. Annabelle had a complete lack of scares which made it extremely boring. Basically the doll just sat around the house changing [ing positions every 15 minutes.

This movie is so -not- scary that it feels "anti-horror". The characters are chunks of blank cardboard, with no personality to speak of, no expressions on their faces, and no interesting dialogue from any of them. The jump-scares are in excess but none of them are frightening or necessary. I would attempt to explain the pointless plot but I was so bored that all I could focus on was how ridiculous the movie was and why someone felt the need to make something so horrible.

I would give this movie a negative ten ( -10 ) if metacritic allowed it. That's how bad this film is.… Expand

Three to five minutes of Annabelle in 'The Conjuring' is far more frightening than an hour and a half of Annabelle... in 'Annabelle'. They just made the doll cute.

Come on, this is supposed to be a great prequel to the horror masterpiece The Conjuring, instead, it was a dull and laughable cliché "horror" story. What in this movie is supposed to scare us?

Simply bad. Not scary at all, and I really disliked it. Not even close to how good the first movie was. The story was horrible, the actors were just plain stupid, and the scares were lame. 0/10

With jump scares without suspense, plot without pacing, characters without development and a creepy doll who does nothing, Annabelle is scary in how unfrightening it is.

This thing of a movie wasn't worth my time. The acting was fine but I didn't like it. Id rather have gone and seen dolphin tale 2 (no shade thrown I want to see the movie) because the story wasn't good or funny (I find some horror movies funny like the conjuring when they were taking the demon out her. Now I'm not a spiritual person or a religious person but im fine when they do it in movies and coming from (and still in) a religious household understand this stuff. Now she should have seen that coming when the father wouldn't look her in the eyes. I hated this moive and don't recommend anyone to see it even if they have free time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warning: Spoilers
There was such huge potential for this movie to be scary. Extremely creepy looking doll, backstory from The Conjuring , an old house and a baby. But instead of a genuinely haunting movie, we were subjected to an insulting plot with ZERO scares. I am not exaggerating. There were zero scary parts in this. Lots of zooming in on the creepy doll's face. You expect something to happen at this point. The head to move, the mouth to open, the eyes to blink. But no, there was nothing. Just a slow zooming in shot of a stationary inanimate doll.

Look at the movie's budget vs. profit and you'll see why the producers wanted to make this movie. It was simply a cash making exercise with no thought given to the plot.

This should not be classed as a horror movie. I've seen Scooby Doo cartoons which were scarier than this.… Expand

Worst horror movie ever! Do not watch unless you have you because of the Conjuring story line.
