Annabelle: Creation

Anyone who gets enraged by movies in which characters display a recklessly cavalier attitude to the forces of evil will be driven into a head-spinning fury by Annabelle: Creation.

Hardcore horror buffs may laugh and scoff at the mechanics of some of the scares; the rest may never be able to walk past the window of a toy shop without crossing themselves.

...it’s more about what could be making that creaking sound in the hallway than the heavily made-up demon that’s actually there.

I modsætning til sin forgænger giver filmen sig tid til at skabe et par relativt nuancerede hovedkarakterer inden de dæmoniske løjer går løs. Det hjælpes godt på vej af forbavsende gode præstationer fra de unge skuespillerinder i hovedrollerne.
