It's been long that i have posted a review here. To be honest, didn't get the time to see new movies. But, here I am writing the review of a movie that we all wanted to see after "The Conjuring", we all wanted to know about the "Doll" kept in a box made of glass. Those dead staring eyes. So, all horror movie fanatics were going crazy about this movie named "Annabelle", which is a prequel to the 2013's runaway hit movie "The Conjuring". So, I start with my review.
"Annabelle" starts with a young couple "Mia" played by "Annabelle Wiggins" & "John Gordon" played by "Ward Horton", who are about to have a baby & are moving into a new house. As Mia is very fond of dolls, her husband gifts her a doll named "Annabelle" which apparently she's been looking for sometime. As they are sleeping, something starts happening at the neighbour's house. They go & see & his husband finds that the neighbours have been killed by some intruders who broke into the house. Annabelle calls 911 to call the police. But, as she is calling she looks down the hallway, she sees a girl standing in her doll room with plain white cloth covering her. Mia slowly walks away from her but from behind a friend of that girl covered in blood & stabs Mia. But, in time his husband comes & save her. But, the other girl, she locks herself in the room & kills herself brutally with Annabelle doll in her arms. I will not spoil your mind right now, by telling the whole story now. For more, you have to see the movie & experience it yourself.
Now, as for the comparison done by the people & the critics with "The Conjuring" is somewhat baseless but at same time natural. "The Conjuring" has set the bar so high now, that a movie related to anything of "The Conjuring" should be made so well that it's better than it. "Annabelle" proves to be a winner in this category, it's not better than it but you cannot say it's not worthy. As for the acting "Annabelle Wiggins" is a good actor & we saw a glimpse of her in the movie & she can really make a name for herself. The supporting cast has done there work spot-on. But, it's the doll "Annabelle" who steals the show with her dead staring eyes, her smile, her hair. If you keep her on the movie screen alone for 2 hours, many people would not be able to sleep for some days.
The direction of the movie is done by "John R. Leonetti" & he has done a great work. The real backbone of this movie is it's "Background" score, it is just mind-blowing & it keeps building tension within you. A very nice thing has taken over the "Horror" genre, first of all "IT's NOT DYING" & secondly, you just cannot put cheap scares just to make people terrified, you have to have some story behind, which automatically makes a horror movie more terrifying & Annabelle is a part of it.
PS : BUT I CANNOT GET ONE THING OUT OF MY HEAD, WHY, I MEAN WHY SOMEONE WOULD GIFT A DOLL LIKE ANNABELLE TO HIS WIFE OR WHY WOULD SOMEONE BE SOP HAPPY TO SEE A TERRIBLE DOLL INFRONT OF HIM/HER.
GO WATCH THIS! RECOMMENDED
