Annabelle is a hideous mess that desperately clings onto The Conjuring as a way to market its foreseeable, empty plot and horror conventionality, says Lewis Taplin.
This week brings a diverse selection of films, from documentary to period drama along with the expected host of Halloween thrillers, including The Conjuring’s prequel.
Annabelle is the prequel to 2013’s horror film, The Conjuring, and will be released in October this year.
