Taking place a year or so before the events in "The Conjuring" - a young, clean-cut couple who are expecting a baby, move into a new house where they are barged in on by a pair of murderous hippie cult members. The pregnant wife is stabbed before the one intruder is gunned down by cops while the other slashes her own throat, thus bleeding onto a doll. The doll is then used by some demon to steal the soul of their newborn child.
Absolutely nothing new is done here. This movie relies on every cliche in the book that is used to cobble together these incredibly stagnant, uninspired supernatural-horror retreads. Of course, it's virtually bloodless and plays everything very safe, inoffensive and familiar. I guess the ever-so undemanding public still isn't sick of this kind of supernatural/possession bullshit, so it's safe to say it's not going anywhere anytime soon. "Annabelle" is completely boring, dime-a-dozen garbage...
