“Iu0026#39;m not sure if youu0026#39;re like me, where every new horror feels as if someone is flogging a dead horse, but thatu0026#39;s exactly how I felt about Annabelle Creation. Here we go again, itu0026#39;s a prequel to the original. That doll is dug out, sat stationary, and all manner of nasty events happen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a very nicely made film, itu0026#39;s very well acted by the largely young cast, itu0026#39;s a good, if sad story, and there are a few decent scares. The trouble is, those scares have been done so many times, even, dare I say it throughout the franchise.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt lacked the interesting side story that was present throughout the Conjuring films. As I say itu0026#39;s a good movie, but come on, give us something other then doll scares girl.”
