Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald Sometimes a creepy-looking doll is just a creepy-looking doll and no amount of repetition can make the sweet old song You Are My Sunshine even the slightest bit scary. Rated: 2/5 Aug 18, 2017 Full Review Adam Nayman The Ringer The film exists simply to get us somewhere we've already been, and so the level of invention in the storytelling declines right when it should be ramping up. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times For the first two acts, while Annabelle: Creation concerns itself with little girls checking under beds and investigating things that go bump in the night, it's equal to James Wan's Conjuring films. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Sure, it will still feel very familiar, but I appreciated the practical effects over digital, the keen eye for tension-building, and the patient buildup. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Fletcher Powell KMUW - Wichita Public Radio It stops being fun and starts dwelling on pain. Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review While defusing laughter often accompanies this sort of material, it's best employed when we're not laughing at the film.

Big Red Good installment to the franchise Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my all time favorites!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Tyler S This feels like a hot take, but that was one of the best horror movies I've seen. I love the tone this movie brought off, super simple yet terrifying. The story was very well structured and had so many unexpected moments. Loving all of the films in The Conjuring timeline so far. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Marlene K Perfeito amo tudo nesse filme Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review TROY S Annabelle: Creation is a massive step-up from Annabelle. With great performances by the young cast, and some excellent scare sequences, Creation has more than enough to keep you up at night. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Deontae D Annabelle: Creation is a prequel, It shows what happened before the first Annabelle, It's creepy, terrifying, and way better than the first film.
