Modern day horrors never scare me.......until now!!

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2013)

After reading some other reviews that have said that this film is wall to wall cliché I have to agree and disagree. Yes, there are clichés but the way they are transcended across the screen made them new again...if you know what I mean. Also, so what...if it scares you or at the very least creeps you out then it works!. The opening ten minutes with Annabelle the doll are really creepy (there's a good link on the message boards) which sets the pace for the rest of the film. Good character building and the fact that this is allegedly based on truth gives it that extra kick. I loved the portrayal of The Warrens as they seemed just as vulnerable in some respects as the family they were helping. I did at points watch this film through my fingers. Love it.
