Download Annabelle Horror Movie

Annabelle is a 2014 American supernatural horror film directed by John R. Leonetti, written by Gary Dauberman and produced by Peter Safran and James Wan. It stars Annabelle Wallis, Ward Horton, and Alfre Woodard. Principal photography began in January 2014 in Los Angeles. It premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on September 29, 2014,[3] and was theatrically released in the United States on October 3, 2014, by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema.[4]

The film is a spin-off and prequel of the 2013 horror film The Conjuring, focusing on the origins of the Annabelle doll found in that film.[6] The film was designed to be stand alone yet collectively catering to fans of The Conjuring.[7] To Backstage.com, the film was one of the first in a new strategy by distributors Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema "that capitalizes on the built-in fan bases for successful films, allowing for smaller budgets and production time with a bigger payout on the back end."[7]

Annabelle grossed $84.3 million in North America and $172.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $257 million, against a production budget of $6.5 million.[2] In the United States and Canada, Annabelle is the fourteenth highest-grossing horror/supernatural film.[18]

High openings of Annabelle internationally were reported in France ($3.4 million), Brazil ($3 million), the UK ($3.1 million), Argentina ($1.2 million), Spain ($1.45 million) and Germany ($1.14 million). In India Annabelle debuted at #2 behind Bang Bang! and collected $1.3 million.[36] It set an all-time opening record for a horror film in Peru with $1.34 million which is also Warner Bros. second biggest opening weekend of all time there overall.[37] In Mexico, the film earned $10.9 million (including previews) on its opening weekend and broke the record for the biggest debut ever for a horror movie, and the best 2D opening. Its opening weekend gross is also the third-biggest opening overall of 2014 behind Maleficent and Transformers: Age of Extinction there. In total, the film took 59% of the total market share.[38]

Annabelle received generally negative reviews from critics, many of whom felt the film inferior to its predecessor.[41] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 28% based on 137 reviews, with an average rating of 4.50/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Annabelle borrows unabashedly from better horror films, content to leave viewers with a string of cheap jolts that fail to build on the far more effective The Conjuring."[42] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 37 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[43] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[44]

Scott Foundas of Variety gave the film a positive review, calling the film "inspired" but periodically cheap. He added "a cut-rate spinoff from James Wan's superlative haunted-house hit The Conjuring that (partly) makes up in crude shock effects, but lacks in atmosphere. Designed mainly as a starring vehicle for the eponymous, creepy-as-hell doll (who easily outclasses her human co-stars), this WB/New Line quickie is the thirst of die-hard genre fans and is by the far the best horror movie of the year".[46]

Pete Hammond of Deadline gave the film a positive review and said that the scary doll show has left him pining for Chucky in Child's Play. He further added, "Annabelle may still draw horror fans in this Halloween month, and they will be quaking over the scares in this film."[47]

In June 2016, Miranda Otto and Stephanie Sigman were cast to star in the prequel. The story centers on a dollmaker, and his wife (Otto) whose daughter tragically dies. Twelve years later they decide to open their home to a nun (Sigman) and several girls from a shuttered orphanage. When the dollmaker's possessed creation Annabelle sets her sights on the children, it turns their shelter into a storm of horror.[53]

I watched annabelle and annabelles creation a couple days ago and what ruined the film for me is it's literally just a doll. Why not attempt to break it or kick the little fucker in the head. I know it's just a movie and it's trying to create suspense but to me it made the movie a lot more unbelieveable.

Then, Annabelle returns in Annabelle Comes Home. In this installment, the doll becomes the puppet master of all demonic items within the museum, using the vessels of evil spirits to orchestrate horror the same way that Slappy does in Goosebumps when he makes all of the nightmarish books in R.L. Stine's collection spring to life.

Twelve years later, the Mullins open their home to a group of orphan girls and their caretaker, Sister Charlotte. Janice, who is weakened by polio, is the first to stir up trouble with the paranormal. She decides to creep into a forbidden room with the door ajar in the middle of the night, even though it has been locked for years. Has she never seen any horror film, ever?

I had no qualms with Mia and her confinement to the tiny apartment, but some may take issue with one actor taking up so much screen time and the prevailing sense of claustrophobia that accompanies a modestly-sized urban apartment. Some horror films cleverly use claustrophobia to tap into a universal anxiety, but in this case, the limitation of space comes at the expense of creative content. My favorite scene actually occurs in an elevator and utilizes the sense of claustrophobia in an appropriate way.

The Annabelle doll seems to attract bad luck at best and demons and killers at worst. As the family finds themselves constantly the target of misfortune and terror they begin to realize that the doll is at the center of the horrors being inflicted on them.

It goes without saying that I enjoy horror movies. I also like to run, hike, read (comics, fiction, sci-fi, fantasy), write, and spend time with my family. I am usually pretty direct and find that honesty and kindness are what is most important to me. Along with Bryce, I am a co-founder of Horror Movie Talk.

We learn that Annabelle was owned by a lovely young couplenamed Mia (Annabelle Wallis) and John (Ward Horton). In the run-up to the birth of their first child, John gave his wife thedoll as a part of her extensive collection. As Mia nears her due date, the couple faces unimaginablehorror in the form of a pair of Satanic cultists who break in, stab Mia in thebelly, and end up dead in their home. The female cultist happens to be namedAnnabelle Higgins, and some of her blood lands on the doll Annabelle. Beforeyou know it, Mia is seeing shadowy figures on the stairs, hearing noises in thenight and realizing that something evil wants her baby.
