What I like about the horror movies of The conjuring universe is that they are filled with people of immense kindness and decency. That's why I miss them when they are not on the screen. In this particular case, with this movie, there was not enough Vera Farmiga in this one, and not enough Ed and Lorraine Warren sweetness.

Yes, this is part of a horror movie franchise, but unlike most horror movie franchises, the Ed and Lorraine Warren universe is full of sweetness and faith, and meaning. It's not just all gruesome is like most horror. And this one is no exception, it did have a lot of sweetness. But just not enough of my favorite characters from the franchise.

I liked it, but it's probably my least favorite of the Annabelle series. The first one, simply titled Annabelle, is the best - in a very Rosemary's Baby kind of way.
