The latest adaptation in The Conjuring franchise and latest spinoff and sequel to Annabelle, is by far one of the most unoriginal films in the series. The film is by no means horrible, it isn't even necessarily bad, but it certainly feels lazy. Suspenseful moments are traded off for cheap scares, easter eggs, or rash plot devices that will matter for such little time or such a little point you will wonder why they are there in the first place. That being said, the film is, as all Conjuring films technically are, 'based on a true story,' so it's hard to truly judge the elements that make up the film itself, but the way it executes these elements is truly its biggest fault. With all of that, some cliche character moments, and the somewhat slow pacing of the film in general, the film does luckily have some things to offer. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, as small as their part may be, do shine as their returning respected characters Ed and Lorraine Warren. The overall look of the film, besides some quite obvious and rather sheepish looking CGI, is also rather fantastic. The overall acting of the film is also quite good, even if the characters themselves don't exactly prove to be rather interesting, but despite the films character problems, every actor truly tries to give it their all. The film also wraps together on a surprisingly sweet note, and is, dare I say this about a Conjuring movie, quite touching. In the end, Annabelle: Comes Home does prove at times to be a bit of a crowded mess with issues to spare. But what it lacks in terms of general qualities, it shines on what makes it most enjoyable. It may not be the scariest entry in the franchise, but it is certainly not the worst. Take that as you may. My Rating: 6/10
