Just Saw Annabelle

Great news. I'm looking forward to checking this out

it will probably be just as terrible as the conjuring was

How did it compare to "The Conjuring"? That has been my favorite horror movie of the past 10 years.

---

It was like a mixture of Insidious/Conjuring.

In fact, the movie does reflect back to the Conjuring a few times.

I thought it was a little bit more scary than the conjuring.

However, I think the acting was better in the conjuring. Not saying that the acting is bad/terrible in this one, but the acting was just better in the former.

So not terrible at all?

hilariously terrible

How does the annabelle doll tie into The Conjuring's plot of the witch that cursed her property (other than it just being shown in the music box)? Or would that be too much of a spoiler?

Doesn't tie into the witch at all.

I meant like they refer back to parts of the conjuring "the movie"

Not the story within the movie.

Like they mention Ed and Lorraine or whatever their names were from the conjuring (husband and wife demonologists)

And I would like to temper expectations just a but. It's not the scariest movie ever made, but as I said it will make the hair on your neck stand up a few times and that was with some dude in front of me talking every time he got nervous.

so it wasn't laugh out loud funny in the theatres? Because that's how the previews made it look. Like a spoof movie.

You may laugh. I don't know.

It's nothing like child's play if that's what anybody is expecting.

It's not like you see the doll running around all over the place or even move.

Basically, The Conjuring and Annabelle are just movie versions of stories/artifacts related back to the IRL versions of Ed and Lorraine. Annabelle was/is an actual raggedy anne doll that seemed to be involved in some creepy shite with its original owners, so they gave it to Ed and Lorrainde who put it in a big glass box in their Occult Museum "to keep it from moving around" and told the story of how it was controlled by a demon looking for a host to possess.




Also, Ed and Lorraine Warren were pretty much completely full of shite. But their bullshite stories do make for some good horror movie fodder.

There are some good scares, some mediocre acting, and a complete WTF ending. The ending was seriously dumb. Overall though it probably exceeded my expectations but they were admittedly low.

They are selling the shite out of this movie on TV the last week.

Reminds me of the ads for Blair Witch - you couldn't get away from that constant rotation.
