Storyline

John Form has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia - a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia's delight with Annabelle doesn't last long. On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now... Annabelle.

User Reviews

more like tension than fear good story but is not great movie (5.5)

First of all it's not a very scary movie, it's a story in the conjuring universe but it doesn't scare people as much as those movies but it has a good story a small budget movies doesn't cover much space of course I'm comparing it with conjuring movies. There are horror movies with much lower budget than this movie but not much money spent on horror movies.I can tell that I'm scared in some scenes but the number of these scenes is not much,the tension is a little more awesome in front of fear but annabelle story is great I think what makes you film is beautiful. certainly not a waste of time more beautiful than many other horror movies.
