I was disappointed with this film after enjoying the other 3 in the "universe". The title is misleading - its not about the "Creation" of Annabelle - they can squeeze another prequel in to do that I'm sure.

There is nothing original here. Seen it all before many times. The scares are predictable. The characterisations are predictable and dull too. I wasn't made to care about the central couple at all. They are creepy to the extent of being ridiculous. The nun was silly. The kids - best thing about this but still not great. The doll and the demon are a scary concept but the set pieces are old and tired and unintentionally funny. I laughed out loud on three occasions rather than being scared. Its not awful, there are many worse films. But its not brilliant either. I resent paying to see this in a cinema.
