Annabelle: Creation (2017)

That poor girl that is in the Shazam movie is typecast as an orphan, I swear. They got a bit more violent with this one and I love it. I like that they put the most innocent people possible in this horrible situation. It was still the usual demonic fair you come to expect from this franchise. I think the cleverest part of this franchise is its ability to be connected with references to other series within the larger franchise. Nothing was groundbreaking about the movie but it fleshed out the universe with a prequel to a prequel. I feel that is all these movies are becoming. It’s an ok movie but I’d still recommend the parent series (The Conjuring) because those just hit better.
