Annabelle: Creation - Movie Review

When Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann disagree...

What should I believe...

What should I do...

What is life...

I'd like to to impose a one-child limit on all films . The idea that children can act is a fantasy; there have been literally three decent actors under twelve in the history of cinema.

It's more of the same old crap but with a buncha lame child-actors.

Its an old fashioned haunted house ride. I can watch every week. Lol

I love it :)

How do you live your life with that damn doll in your house 😂

i love it better than the first anabelle

DOLL MOVED!!

I put this on with the hopes of being convinced to watch this.. I wasn't... But im watching it anyway.. Ok you sold me.

I get it, doll moves in the background, ooo scary. I hope you know, you are a hack.

Given my phobia of dolls and certain puppets, I had to stay in the comment section and just listen, but hey. I still came. xD

I'm halfway through the movie and i gotta say i feel sorry for the doll. She does so much to make them see she's an evil demon but they just keep being like, meh its probably nothing xD Its fun to watch though.

Did anyone notice that the annabelle doll behind him was moving

No chris..... Come on dude, really?
Just when I thought you had some sense of horror, After you loved Hereditary....Babadook........
Now this??? Sigh

Spoiler:


Chris: The film isn’t gory
Movie: Rips a girl in half and shows her corpse

It is not a surprise to me that a reviewer with a potty mouth enjoyed this film.

Love your reviews and usually agree with them about 90% of the time. Excited to see where you go with your directing.

The link back to the first one was amazing

whats weird was a little later after i watched this video, I went to go see aquaman and there was an annabelle doll in the ocean

Great review, I really liked this movie.

Chris, are you sure you liked the movie or did you give it a good review cuz Annabelle was watching you?

What I liked about this movie was the character development, the mystery, the deaths and the tie in to the first film. What I didn't like was when Janice was chasing the other girls around. It was obvious that they wasn't gonna get hurt. Other than that it was a great film

More foul language from a foul mouthed reviewer...so sad. You are capable of so much better work and word choices Chris.

Hej Chris 😀 just a recormendation, you sound really watch a haunting of hill house og netflix! Its The most beautifuly made horror ever, in My oppinion. I would just absolutely love to hear your thoughts! My boyfriend wont watch it so i have not been alle to process 😣 its so amezing. Greetings from Sus ✌️

Loved this movie

Yes everyone noticed the doll.........

They need the gross from original or first one to spend more for sequels lol

When it tied into the first film SO well I too gave an applause. I did NOT see that coming! Also the end credits scene with Valak was cool too.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...

Everyone complained about the first Annabelle film but I like both of them

Fun? Seriously? 😂

Why can't they get it right first main one?? Lol

Chris always sounds psychotic when he curses.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Annabelle - D and Anabelle Creation B+ !! You reviewed the first Anabelle movie as extremely dumb and here you say the second movie is an interesting one cause there's characters one can keep interest in. But how can you spare this movie of its extra overload of dumbness too. How on earth you explain little girls' abnormal levels of curiosity. For Christ's sake when its obvious that the room has a ghost in it. Who on earth will walk right in again and again and again? It does not matter how many cool scares the director puts in the next sequence, its just dumb to begin with. And what about when Lulu Wilson's character is on the top bunker and the Annabelle doll or the spirit runs around her room and she can see the doll peek at her from below her bed. Next scene. Lulu Wilson wakes up after a good night's sleep. Excuse me Hello?! how does anyone like ever in the history of ghosts get a good night's sleep with a ghost right below their bunk. Crazy. Just cause in the first Annabelle movie there's no more than two character's on screen for most of the movie - the mother and the child, that does not make it a bad movie. The lift scene (which you do mention also) is damn good. In fact its one of the best scenes in the Conjuring series. And there's little to pick on with the other scenes in there. The opening sequence totally makes sense and depicts the possessing of the doll on the crime scene (a man choosing to check on the neighbors due to some audible commotion is more way more realistic than little girls taking on ghosts in tiny rooms). I just can't believe how you rate both movies on such double standards!

theorey lulu wilson makes bad movies good annabele ouija both bad but seconed ones good

Nigga this movie was shit af

It wasn't scary .-.

This film has a post credit scene.

that doll on the background moves
damn...

I hate dolls

I want to exit the universe without using magic, so that the original human being will give me the power to enter Annabelle Creation and turn Janice into a real person

I actually thought this was pretty good.

It started off so creepy and atmospheric, then after the 'Your Soul' moment it went waaaaay downhill. worse then the first one imo

Love this film. 😊

wait? why she is moving? :o

Everyone is tipping their hat to Chris moving the annabelle doll and here I am, getting slightly startled when I noticed halfway thru the vid lol Curse you for getting me like that :D

nonono man, this is not right for me. After seeing annabelle and annabelle 2 and seeing your reviews... no. I mean personally i enjoyed the first more than the second, but what makes me disappointed is not that we don't agree, but the fact that you say that the first movie was bad because it was dumb even if the second was WAAAAAAAY dumber. like, think about it for just a second.

No! Just no! These Conjuring films keeps getting praised for all the wrong reasons! I like a good horror movie. Hell, I like a bad horror movie once in a while, but this is just an empty piece of glittery shit. Good production value does'nt equal good writing or entertaining frights. The first Conjuring movie did at least make me wanna stay awake for the ending and the first Annabelle had a scary and well written opening. This has next to nothing of substance. It's a series of reused horror tropes that feels insulting to the viewer and packed with boring build up. And the dialog is so flat and unengaging that it was almost unbarable to watch. This franchise should really be laid to rest before it bleeds to much into other mainstream horrorfilms more than it already has. Damn, is this all you expect your horror to be like? I surely want a lot more of an A-list horror movie that is for sure.

Nice demonic pocsesed doll

The ending was rather depressing

What is with Prequel Presequels???

"Enjoyable" means sucking ass and forgettable, in stuckmanese

When I saw the doll in the review I thought to myself 'If I was doing this review, I'd make it move around randomly between jump cuts'. You read my mind Stuckmann. You read my mind.

the doll!!! the doll!!! look out behind you Christopher stuckman!!!!

I saw that doll moving around.I thought that in the end would do a jumpscare

Anyone else notice Chris’ Annabelle doll moving around in the background?? Lol

My only problem is I watched it home alone at night lights off was not expecting to be this scary scared the shit out of me never will do that again haha definitely gave me nightmares

Damn this doll...

I think that beyond the unnecesary jumpscares, the actual storyline is pretty weak... its like forced and not argued why things happened in the movie happen. Sound, actors and cinematography are great, but i think you need more than a good 60's soundtrack and performances in order to success with a horror movie. The script is terrible, too predictable, cliche, overdone, easy way out to make a movie only for entertaining and earn some coins... Horror genre has lost his way, and this movie is one more of the thousands existing that proves it.

Damn Stuckmann it took me 3 minutes before I realised you had a Annabelle doll behind you 😆 ..... & it keeps moving... well played 👏

Creation was a joke. Complete waste of time. I seriously don't know is Chris talking about here. Maybe the standards have fallen low. Annabelle: Creation is a completely forgettable horror film. Barely a solid scare, concepts that make no sense at all, a mediocre story that also tends to make no sense, mediocre and unreal acting.
Not worth your time.

I have the Annabelle doll you have!!!

I watched it, was scary and well made, am never watching it again.

there was a scene near the beginning when we see janice look out the window at the other girls looking very lonely and behind her, unfocused, the demon

Ok.. *Spoiler*alert..
Yes it did hv some good jumpscares... Bt help me figuring this out.
If the possessed doll was locked up for 12 years and then when the girl opened the closet it comes out and starts to do its thing. Bt if it was locked then how did it approached the girl in the 1st step? It was locked in right?? . And even if it had that capability then why is that it never tried that to her parents?

Si da miedo eso es malo para los niños 😇😦🙏🙏👹👹👽🔫🔫

This is a prequel of a prequel

Let's call it...


The Lulu Wilson effect!!

Could you do a review on The Others?

Way better than the first Annabelle move. Real edge of your seat moments. I made the mistake of watching it on my own, In the dark....with headphones.... 😱

Glad that you liked this movie. I hated Annabelle and Ouija but liked Creation and Ouija 2.

The Anabelle doll moved 5 times

I didn't give a shit about the charaters. I don't even remember the their names.

More like boring and forgettable.

The Conjuring wasn't well received?

I have never disagreed with you more chris, this movie was truely AWFUL, complete garbage and has NOTHING of what made the conjouring movies good

wtf to all these comments saying this movie was not scary. If this isn't scary than what is

I love this one

You nailed it perfectly Chris it's just a fun horror movie

Just watched this movie yesterday (January 20, 2018). Though there were some scary moments, I found this movie to be quite disappointing. The characters never really seemed that scared when absolutely terrifying events would happen. They'd be scared for a minute, & then just shrug it off. The movie would seem more realistic if the characters were genuinely scared over such horrific visions & such. Also, the characters were all idiotic. This room is scary as shit...so I am just going to keep on going back into it over & over. Really??? The story is supposed to be based on an actual doll that is haunted, but, not only does the doll in this movie look completely different from the original doll, but I am thinking that there is probably about 1% truth to this whole story. BTW, the doll in this movie, no kid in their right mind would ever want to own such a creepy thing.

I'm about to watch this movie and wanted to watch the review first to see if it's worth my while

peep that moving annabelle doll in the background

This movie sucked chris much like its predecessor unfortunetly

This movie isn't bad I liked it!

Can you do a review of the Autopsy of Jane Doe?

Chris, this is sad, please don't give shit movies a good rating just for money.
Everything points to a prequel of a prequel being shit, and it was.
We trust you, we rely on you.
Don't do this to us.
Please.

Anabelle 2 Is much better than 'The conjuring 2' really

Time to break some dolls!

The only thing that really bothered me about this movie is the nun character...she was obviously wearing make up in the movie. That's vanity! They could have toned it down to make it more realistic.

He

Annabelle moved did anyone catch that

Thank you for giving love to David F. Sandberg! He deserves a lot more and I can't wait to see himself grow as a Director in the horror genre. He's gonna do great things ✨

Annabelle creation or ouija:origin of evil

I love this and lights out

Metroid?...METROID!!!

I wish they would make these films more realistic, it's what everyone wants, right ? I mean, a demon that can morph and materialize through walls, but a little girl can out smart it by running into a loft crawl space and putting a latch on the door.

Did anybody else see Annabelle move

They cut out the "you're not real you're no real" where the girl is covering her face with the scarecrow in front of her.

"its a thing. we have to accept it" you re killing me Chris !!

I thought this one was going to be trash for sure. Boy was I wrong. Excellent movie.
