Annabelle Comes Home (3.5 out of 5 stars).

Annabelle Comes Home is the third and seventh entry in the Conjuring universe of supernatural horror films. Some are just decent films that provide the same predictable supernatural scares. Some are boring and dull. This third film as Annabelle is pretty decent. Better than the original movie but not as good compare to the Conjuring. The third film does deliver some cheap jolts and scares, has a decent plot that wraps up the Annabelle storyline, and the cast ensemble was also good.

The plot follows Ed and Lorraine (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) after they claimed the Annabelle doll (a scene from the opening in first Conjuring movie). They lock the doll up in their basement in an enclosed glass case. When they go on a business trip. They leave their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) with their teenage babysitter Mary (Madison Iseman). When Mary brings her friend Daniela (Katie Sarife). And her curiousity about the Lorraine's haunted basement. She accidently sets Annabelle free. Which she sets every haunting demon in the basement on the loose that will terrorize the three girls in the house.

The plot was decent. I did feel like the characters did make some stupid decisions. Which the script did not improve from the last few movies. Which has that cliché were a character would go into the basement after passing several warning signs to keep out. And unlocking the encased case to get Annabelle.

The direction did deliver some fun scares and thrills. When Annabelle is released. The three girls are stuck at home. Lights out, fog coming in the area, and creepy shadows and sounds coming around from every corner of the house. It is the house of horrors with that haunted basement. There is a hellhound, some creepy lady in a wedding dress, a demonic looking beast. It does have some fun scares. May not be as scary as previous Conjuring films.

It was fun to see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga having small appearances in this film. Mckenna Grace was good playing Judy. Madison Iseman was also good playing as Mary. Katie Sarife was also okay as well playing a character that has a bit of mystery on why she is desperate to contact the supernatural.

Overall, Annabelle Comes Home is a pretty fair film. It does deliver as the third film in the series. Not as a great new horror movie but it is acceptable as an entertaining fun thriller.
