It is boring, plan, and unenthusiastic! It's often stated that horror is the most difficult genre to convey, and after watching this rendition of Annabelle, I must agree. There is truly a disconnect between the main "Conjuring" movies, and the spin offs. They all seem to rely on these cliche horror tricks in order to pull off scares. It does not work. Character development is weak, and when you cannot connect with the characters, you will not feel nor care for the fear they are projecting. I honestly dosed off a few times; In a "horror" none the less. I would say this type of horror is made for children, and children who are unseasoned with horror movies. It takes no chances, and tries to throw as much on the dark screen as possible.
