John Form (Ward Horton) thinks he's found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia (Annabelle Wallis) : a vintage doll in a beautiful white dress. However, the couple's delight doesn't last long: One terrible night, devil worshippers invade their home and launch a violent attack against the couple. When the cultists try to summon a demon, they smear a bloody rune on the nursery wall and drip blood on Mia's doll, thereby turning the former object of beauty into a conduit for ultimate evil.

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 The 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

cinema f “Before The Conjuring there was Annabelle.” Annabelle is scary and creepy. It’s a great start to the Annabelle films. I can’t wait to see the next one. 5/5 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Darío C I might be rating the movie higher than it should be, but my nostalgia is taking over. This was the first horror movie I ever watched, and introduced me not only to the franchise, but to the whole genre. Now as a big fan, and having watched it again, you can clearly notice the budget was low. Screen and photography work is lame. However, is amazing how with few money and resources, you can give decent suspense, thrill and tension. A big movie from little budget. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Ok Atuação: Ok Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Audience Member this movie is absolutely amazing if you enjoy watching paint dry Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review David C No recomiendo verla y está muy fea la historia Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Korra N The worst in the franchise, Annabelle is as cliche and mediocre a horror movie as you can get. There are a few scares that I thought were decent, but overall, this isn't a good movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
