I was a little less worried about a third Annabelle movie than I was the second one, because, well this came off the back of that second one, and that second one was okay. But that second one came off the back of the first Annabelle movie... And that was a fucking disaster. Lots of people say that the whole Conjuring franchise is a cool thing, but nothing has come close to the quality of that first The Conjuring movie. Respectfully, I disagree. The franchise as a whole is okay, but not only is has something better come out post-The Conjuring, furthermore, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the first Conjuring movie isn't even really that good. The only entry I've given a favourable review ("favourable" here meaning "more than a 5 outta 10") iissss dramatic pause THIS O- no I'm kidding it's Conjuring 2. Conjuring 2 is the good one and everything else ranges from "alright" to "dumpster fire", and the first Annabelle is firmly at the bottom of that dumpster fire. What's the next best entry? The crème de la compètènt? It's... Oh my God I think it actually is this one... You guys is Annabelle Comes Home the closes thing we've got to a second good movie? ...Fuck... I'm pretty sure it is.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
