After their daughter is killed in a tragic accident, a mother and father decide to carry on by running an orphanage. However, things start to go awry when one of the orphans begins to sense an evil presence close by...

Having seen and enjoyed Annabelle I went in with an optimistic mind-set when I sat down to watch this film, but sadly I didn't enjoy this film quite as much as the first film..

It begins well enough, but it does lack any real tension or suspense; it all feels rather mechanical and workman-like and the film failed to truly engage me at any point. In fairness, the basic story behind Annabelle and its creation is mildly interesting, but unfortunately the film fails to do much with the concept and what you're ultimately left with is a film that isn't completely terrible, but at the same time one that isn't particularly scary (in fact I didn't even come across one cheap jump scare when watching this film which for me is unheard of in the Annabelle/Conjuring world).

The acting is OK by all concerned and the story behind Annabelle is interesting enough, but it simply isn't particularly scary and for that reason it is a film that I simply couldn't recommend.
