Annabelle (I) (2014)

Oh dear

[3/10 · 9 January 2015]

This film is hilariously bad. I brought it back for me and my girlfriend, and we watched it. This film really tried to pull off the 'omg-look-behind-you' and 'im-really-stupid-so-im-not-going-to-pick-up-that-gun'-type mentatily. I understand this is part of the Horror genre that i so love, but.. this is ridiculous to the point to making fun of you. Because of this, you will probably want to shut it off about 2/3 through, by that stage the shitness couldn't bring me to care about the already weak characters any more anyway, unfortunately. Started so well. What a shame.

Much less atheist, I would call myself anti-theist. But..

A rare occurrence with any film, but this film struck a massive cord with me. I know I'm winding down for the year as I watch this, but I can say without any year-end sentimentality, that after the literally hundreds of films that I've seen this year, this is without doubt the best.

After years of IMDb use, I never had an account, but I made one especially to review this film.

There's a precedent here, the do-you-believe-don't-you-believe balance of this film is exquisite.

Just watch it. Atheist, believer alike; there's no disappointment here.
