Judy explains that they must lock Annabelle in her case again so that the other spirits will rest. Bob protects Judy from the Black Shuck as she retrieves Mary Ellen's asthma inhaler, while Daniela is attacked and possessed by the Bride. Eventually, Mary Ellen and Judy find the doll when the ghostly priest, acting as Judy's guardian, guides them to the Ferryman. Daniela recovers when Judy plays Ed's recorded footage of the Bride's exorcism, and helps put the doll back in the case. After the case is locked, the disturbances cease as the spirits return to their slumber, and Bob reunites with the trio.

However, an unexpected guest sets Annabelle free, unleashing demonic activity in the house. From the start, it begs you to think back and reflect on the good times you had watching The Conjuring films. It is undoubtably closer in tone and craftsmanship to the spinoff films, rather than The Conjuring films. Viewers looking for family-friendly horror can watch the PG-rated The House with a Clock in its Walls. It feels like this movie is hitting every horror movie checklist which kind of reduces its impact.

But an unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target—the Warrens' ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends. Sometime later, the Warrens welcome Mary Ellen, who will be in charge of babysitting their daughter, Judy, at the house while they travel overnight to investigate another case. At school, Judy notices a ghostly priest that begins following her. Mary Ellen's friend, Daniela, arrives uninvited to the Warrens' home, who is secretly curious about speaking to the dead. She sneaks into the artifacts room and starts examining every item, ultimately trying to contact her late father.
Parent reviews for Annabelle Comes Home
Dauberman also has a great deal of fun with the forbidden room and all its various, monstrous treasures. Little Judy, who seems to have picked up some of her mother's clairvoyance, is having trouble at school because of her parents' work and can't seem to make friends. Daniela is also quite touching, hoping to communicate with her dead father while blaming herself for his death; she's more than just a busybody poking around where she shouldn't be. And it's a welcome surprise to see Farmiga and Wilson back as the Warrens. All in all, everything clicks satisfyingly into place for a solid scarefest that's worth getting dolled up for.
There's a stabbing in the stomach, and a scene of a ghost "vomiting" a stream of blood into a character's face. A character is bullied, and a man is nearly hit by a truck. Language includes a use of "f--k" and a few uses of "s--t" and "balls." Teens flirt a bit, and a teen boy tries for a kiss but is thwarted.

It did not deliver the scare factor, and if it did, the execution is not strong enough. Imagine a war without any explosion, no damage dealt, and no one have gotten into a serious war shock after the climatic commotions – this is how I felt watching this movie. In this third Annabelle movie's case, the potential of its story is wasted because of continuous cheap scare-centric. But the question is, is Annabelle Comes Home a waste of time?
Later, many friends gather to celebrate Judy's birthday party. Daniela apologizes to Lorraine, who gives her a comforting message from her father. Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren confiscate the Annabelle doll from nurses Debbie and Camilla, who claimed that the doll often performed violent activities in their apartment. During the drive back home, the doll summons spirits to attack Ed, but he narrowly survives.

While the movie isn't especially original, it's well-made and has plenty of intense scares. Expect lots of scary ghosts, demons, and monsters, as well as very spooky sounds and music. One creature wields a knife while wearing a bloody dress, and another has a bloody face.
There is little direct violence against the characters, and all of the blood and gore is either in photographs or in hallucinations. Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren lock the possessed doll in the artifacts room in their house. But when the doll awakens the room's evil spirits, it soon becomes an unholy night of terror for the couple's 10-year-old daughter, her friends and their young baby sitter. ANNABELLE's story takes place before the events of The Conjuring, following the titular evil doll. In the late 1960s, young couple Mia and John are expecting their first baby. As a gift, John gives Mia a creepy doll for her collection.
She abruptly leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the terror begins shortly afterwards with the spirit of Annabelle "Bee" Mullins unleashed. That night, Annabelle begins releasing other spirits, such as the Ferryman, the Bride, a Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck. I am actually a bit surprised by the rating for this movie. As far as R rated horror goes, Annabelle Comes Home is comparatively innocuous.
But when someone lets Annabelle out, suddenly every other evil artefact the Warrens ever collected springs to demonic life and begins to inflict terror after terror on Judy and Mary Ellen. Pictures announced that a then-untitled film in the Conjuring Universe franchise would be released on July 3, 2019. Principal photography commenced by mid-October and officially wrapped in December 2018 inLos Angeles.
Writer/director Gary Dauberman unveils the new cast of sinister specters he conjured up for the latest installment of the Annabelle film series. Devoid of any scares and lacking even the styling of the weakest entries in this universe. Mostly just busy and loud without accomplishing anything. Principal photography commenced by mid-October in Los Angeles, with Michael Burgess serving as cinematographer. On December 7, Wilson announced that he had finished filming his scenes.
Yet it holds back on the blood and violence, not really earning its R rating. Annabelle Comes Home is one of the weaker entries in the series, but it still delivers some good scares. I mean I see all the mediocre to negative reviews and I’m just like damn, it’s 7am...I mean damn, it’s a super fun spookhouse horror movie and the world needs more of those! I seriously love a good haunted house horror movie filled with ghosts terrorizing people and that’s basically this movie ever came here to be. Parents need to know that Annabelle Comes Home is the third Annabelle movie and the seventh film in The Conjuring horror franchise.
This movie is probably fairly forgettable, though horror fans will get a quick kick out of it. The Conjuring was an excellent horror film that introduced two real-life ghostbusters, the Warrens, who seemed poised to be the subjects of many good sequels. But instead/in the meantime, this quickie spin-off/prequel was devised, directed by the cinematographer of the previous film, John R. Leonetti, without any of the original cast. Annabelle doesn't bring a single new idea to the screen, and most of the scares are of the jump-shock variety.
A witty, fun-loving teen film a la “Adventures in Babysitting” set within a modern horror blockbuster. It had myself and the rest of the theater laughing throughout. Annabelle 3 follows Judy and her babysitter who are left alone in her house after her parents leave to investigate a case.
