Review
"Although not as scary as "The Conjuring," ANNABELLE — which is kind-of a prequel — maintains the same tone as the earlier film. It's eerie and scary but it avoids the cheap gore effects and tries to take its fantastic premise somewhat seriously... All of this is done by suggestion and misdirection. There are moments of horror, but much of it is hints and moments of quick action. If you're looking for the blood to flow you're going to be disappointed. If you can identify with John and Mia — who seem to be named for the actors who played the lead couple in "Rosemary's Baby" — then this is a movie that will have you on edge." - Daniel M. Kimmel, New England Movies Weekly
