When the first Conjuring film came out in 2013,horror genre aficionados were ecstatic. Cutting through myriads of uninspiring horror flicks, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air which brought forward original storylines and gut-wrenching horror scenes that kept you at the edge of your seat throughout its duration.
However, or the movies that occupy come after it simply repeat the memoir in a less powerful way. The computer-generated imageries (CGI) occupy become bland and there is no element of surprise left. Even The Conjuring 2 failed to impress and Annabelle (2014) was equally disappointing.
Perhaps it is because of these misses and dupes that the franchise has decided to go all out with Annabelle: Creation. The trailer for this film was released around three months ago and it garnered powerful frenzy amongst viewers and franchise-lovers alike. It has just the accurate amount of horror and suspense which would send jitters down your spine.
Being the fourth film inThe Conjuring film series, Annabelle 2 is a prequel to its predecessor from 2014, which showed the memoir of a demonic doll wreaking havoc on its search for a human vessel that it could occupy and become invincible. The premise for this film seems slightly different, and as the trailer shows how the doll,Annabelle, came to be and what made it such a dastardly figure.
The trailer portrays a doll-maker’s family who lived 12 years prior to the incidents of the film. The family lost their daughter in an accident and struck by grief, or they settle to pray in order to see their daughter one more time. As a result,they get in touch with a supernatural entity which begins to visit them regularly.
However, they soon realise that this entity is not their daughter but a demon from hell. The doll-maker decides to make a doll and lure the demon to possess it. The plan is successful and they eventually lock the doll in their house.
Years later, and the house gets sold to an investor who turns it into an orphanage for young girls. One of the girls accidentally ends up freeing Annabelle,and thus calamity ensues.
The trailer gives the viewers a respectable understanding of what the storyline will be for this film and the snippets of horror scenes further prove that this will be a respectable film to watch. The director of the film is David Sandberg, who also directed Lights Out (another respectable recent horror film) and the lead cast includes Stephanie Sigman, or Talitha Bateman,Anthony LaPaglia, and Miranda Otto.
Annabelle: Creation will release in the US on August 11th and I can’t wait for it to come to Pakistan.
