Directed by David F. Sandberg Annabelle creation is the prequel to Annabele that gives the origin and creation behind the Annabelle doll. After A couple loses their daughter in an accident 12 years later they decide to open their home up to an orphanage of girls And a nun in the countryside. Things slow start to take a drastic turn when one of the girls named Janice find the key to a lock closet and opened it to find it lined to the brim with bible pages and a doll. This movie is a prequel that is deserving of the title it actually gives an explanation to Annabelle what this doll is and how it came to be and make the movie seems alert is it actually feels as if the doll actually has an impact this time as oppose to just sitting there and stare it and you know what's happening and you feel the overall presence. It's slow paced and builds up with the added help of us setting taken place at a farmhouse in the countryside similar to the conjuring it's isolated and it's far away from outsiders. The film also doesn't rely heavily on jump scares it makes a clever use of the dark shadows the subtle silence you can see figures in the dark that blend in nicely. They do a great job of not over showing the demon but still gives the feeling of it being here. The characters are good you got the adults and the children and the religious figure with the Nun this is probably the one film spin off that actually feels connected to the conjuring movies. With the way it's shot and composed, The girls all do a decent job but apart from Linda and Janice the other girls seem to just fall in the background until things start to happen to them.
