Annabelle: Creation probably had all of you pondering the very thought of this horror universe and whether you could take it seriously or not. Derived from the brilliant 2013 horror film from James Wan, The Conjuring, Annabelle initially underwhelmed when the original hit theaters in 2014. However, cast all your doubts aside for this one. Annabelle: Creation is a solid throwback type of horror film that actually makes its jump scares work and doesn't rely on any forced drama or ridiculous exposition to get its point across. By many traditional standards, this film shouldn't be as good as it is but (thankfully) it is.
Telling the origin story even further, we're introduced to when the doll became an evil force rather than the banal story that was trying to be told before. Creation doesn't hold back. It is an origin story and it isn't afraid of being exactly that. It works for the film and it makes for some pretty interesting plot twists along the way. That's the beauty of this. Directed by David F. Sandberg, the director of last year's surprisingly great horror film Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation is a classical horror film that will bring fans back to the roots and will make casual audiences squirm in their seats and jump at every thud and creak. Overall, this is a rare horror prequel that works and works very well. If you're a fan of ghost movies and paranormal horror then Annabelle: Creation is a must see.
