Plot: A teenager and her friend unknowingly awaken an evil spirit trapped in a doll
Here we have another Annabelle movie and for me it didn’t not in any way, disappoint. Ed and Lorraine Warren learn that the doll acts as a beacon to spirits. While that would prevent me from even being near the thing, I am not them. They lock her away in a glass case with a blessing and a warning. I guess even the Warrens deserve a date night and when they have one their daughter, her baby sitter and some guests have a memorable evening.
This movie takes you on a journey. I think all movies should but that is far from the reality of it. We started out not liking one of the characters but through the course of the movie we ended up liking everyone. People stepped up.
There are plenty of jump scares which I know some people don’t like for some odd, nonsensical reason. It also has great Freddy Claws which is often lacking but not here.
We have a great cast working with a great script featuring a really good opening sequence and a well done ending.
This is well directed, feels realistic and sports an awesome soundtrack. O and stellar special effects.
I am not sure if I will or even could get sick of these James Wan movies, but it hasn’t come anywhere near even starting.
Tara scored it a 79 while I gave it a fantastic and well deserved 91!
10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees.
1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course.
2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing.
3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it.
4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits.
5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing.
6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me.
7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor.
8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn.
9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath.
10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
