I don't usually write reviews but I felt it necessary because of the juvenility of other reviewers. This movie is an average horror/thriller. It's 5.9 rating seems to be pretty close to accurate. It is not a great Annabelle movie but it is actually better than the original Annabelle movie.

The main problem too many reviewers have is that they go in with specific expectations which never leads to an appropriate review. The movie was not marketed as an Ed & Lorraine movie and those giving 1/10 reviews are just people being unnecessarily immature. This was not a TERRIBLE movie that had absolutely no entertainment value at all which is what a 1 or 2 star rating suggests.

If someone does not like a movie, they should just say so and give an explanation as to why in broad terms if they can do so without spoilers and if they have to use them, they can flag it.

Personally I do not understand why some people need to give movies absurdly low ratings just because they may be upset they spent a whole $10 to watch it. I hope these people can still retire after having to spend that much money.

Finally, it's a movie. Too many people take movies too seriously or fail to suspend disbelief. If people just tried to enjoy a movie without pre-established expectations as to what a show is going to be or should be and just relax & not take themselves so seriously and let little things bother them they might come to realize what the purpose of movies are: entertainment. It's hard to be entertained when one thinks about a movie as if they were watching them as professional critics.
