I'm a fan of the Conjuring movies. I liked all of the ones I've seen but this one by far is the most disappointing. I refused to see Annabelle and The Nun after hearing how mediocre they were so I don't know if it's worse than them but this is definitely the worst of all the Conjuring films I've seen.

First of all, instead of Lorraine and Walter, the focus is shifted to Judy and we almost never see her parents, making me wonder where are the parents? What are they up to?

It's too bad because Judy is poor as a main character. She was fine as a side character but I never thought of her as a character that can hold her own. Here, she's now 11 years old adjusting to middle school. Because of changes, she's withdrawn and sulky in the beginning. We also see that she's an intuitive character, able to know what's going on in other peoples' minds. Though, she's really just a bland, contrived protagonist, making me wish Lorraine and Walter were the protagonists instead. Like how does pointing a cross at a ghost make them go away?

Like the whole story is just stupid, we got a boring protagonist who barely does anything due to the fact that she's just an innocent child who can't do anything about the ghosts. She had no reason to be the protagonist when Lorraine and Walter could've done much more than her. A stupid, rebellious teen who caused the story to kick off in the first place by her own rebellious actions when she snuck into the creepy room while cooking a freaking birthday cake, opened the glass Annabelle was in, basically releasing her and burning the cake. What's even more surprising is that she found the key while putting down a picture of Jesus for no reason.

Now I see why this film didn't do so well. I don't recommend going to see it. With its bland characters, predictable story, and insipid plot, Annabelle Comes Home sits at a 3/10.
