Annabelle Comes Home Review - IGN
Annabelle Comes Home takes the classic horror trope of Teenage Babysitters in Predicaments, and ups the ante by placing them in Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warrens’ (Vera Farmiga) house full of haunted objects. These familiar elements culminate in a fun, refreshing, even heart-warming entry into
the Conjuring franchise. Well-done scares are paired with tension-breaking levity, and we even see a few new monsters (and/or sequel fodder). Annabelle Comes Home should serve as a not-so-serious summer horror flick for anyone looking to laugh a little and jump a lot.
This film picks up shortly after the conclusion of
The Conjuring, but the bulk of the story is largely set before
The Conjuring 2. Lorraine, the clairvoyant of this ghost-hunting duo, realizes that not only is Annabelle a conduit, she's also a beacon for other spirits. The doll is basically Captain America, yelling whatever the spirit equivalent of “Avengers Assemble!” is into the spirit world.
Now, not all spirits are evil, but some of them are very, very bad. For this reason, Annabelle is the most dangerous thing in the Warrens' collection. Because attempting to destroy the doll will only make everything worse, the Warrens seal her in a consecrated glass box with a sign instructing anyone who somehow gets into their room of cursed objects to never, ever let her out. Obviously, that warning isn’t heeded.
The spooky stuff comes on slow—perhaps too slow, even. Once it all ramps up, however, there are some genuinely creative and beautifully shot scares. The myriad entities allow for each character to have their moment while simultaneously setting up possible sequels, a la
The Nun,
The Curse of La Llorona, and the forthcoming The Crooked Man.
