Aight... so finally got around to watching Annabelle- Creation...

Pros - Acting was pretty well done ( even for the younger ones ) Camera work was fine Sound was good, as well as the "tension" music Set was very believable ( for early/mid-ish 1900's )

Cons - FX in general were poor Use every cliché possible from previous horror movies ( ie, not very original ) Throw so many "jump scare attempts" that they are no long "jump scares"

So... I'm conflicted on how I would rate this...

The two young girls both did awesome jobs in the movie... although I suspect they are older than whatever they acted in the flick... by having them as the main characters... I think it did a great job of adding tension / suspense... ie, "yes, a little girl would run into a closest and hide..." etc... I tend to get more sympathetic about kids having to deal with this stuff over adults, so yeah, the idea worked... I enjoyed the movie...

The downside is, the effects were for the most part were really kinda cheesy and predictable... and the plot falls into the same category...

I'll let you guys make up your own mind... but for a $15M budget... I've seen better with a LOT less...
