Annabelle Comes Home is one of the more recent films in the conjuring universe, and it is quite good. Mckenna Grace as Judy Warren is the best actress in the film, especially good considering her age. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are both in it too, but they only have cameo roles effectively. The story is quite simplistic, two babysitters (played by Katie Sarife and Madison Iseman) come over to sit for Judy, but when one of them decides to go and have a look at the Annabelle doll all hell breaks loose and everything comes out to get them. It has some very inventive scares and a few good comedic moments, jump scares are used a lot but mostly effectively and there's some good claustrophobic cinematography that makes you feel trapped in the house. One critique I have though (apart from the predictability) is how many monsters there are - too many! We have: Annabelle, a man with a lantern who takes souls, a huge demonic hound, a killer undead bride, lots of ghosts, the devil (?) and a creepy priest. There's just too many and they undermine the supposedly main monster Annabelle.

6/10: Good
