The Conjuring spin-off shifts focus to the scene-stealing doll from Hell with Annabelle.
But can she possess a whole movie?
Rarely can it be said that a prop has spawned its own franchise.
Last year,I ravedthat James WansConjuringmoved like an elegant machine that smoothed every frame for maximum horror.
Otherwise, theyre Catholic (when its convenient for the narrative) and they dont lock their front door.
The doll herself isnt named Annabelle yet when John buys it for his porcelain-loving wife.
That comes when the real Annabelle Higgins and her boyfriend make an unannounced visit in the night.
Any paranormal boos wont hold a candle to that out-of-body experience.
Ms. Wallis plays Mia affably enough for the rest of the films running time.
