The movie starts off in 1971, with the noted demonologists – Ed & Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga) getting the Annabelle doll home.

A year later, The Warrens invite Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman) to baby sit their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace), while they are out to investigate another case.

Strengths

Annabelle Comes Home is part of the Conjuring Universe. The Conjuring Universe is horror filmmaking genius James Wan’s brainchild. Annabelle is now a brand, when it comes to horror movies. The spooky looking Annabelle doll, too is a delight to horror movie fans.
The movie doesn’t rely on sound effects heavily to spook the audiences & instead relies on visual effects. The last 30-45 mins of the movie were really good. The cast too does a decent job. McKenna Grace – who plays Judy is well cast. We are hoping to see more of Katie Sarife after the release of this film. She does spice up the goings on.

Weakness

This movie is definitely not on the best movies in The Conjuring universe. None of the Annabelle movies have been able to match up to the Conjuring movies & Annabelle comes home is no different.
The first half felt like a drag in some places. The movie can do with better editing. The script in the first half & the few 10-15 mins of the second half could have been tighter. The protagonists of the Conjuring movies – The Warrens, have just an extended guest appearance in the movie.

Verdict

While Annabelle Comes Home is no masterpiece in horror filmmaking, it definitely is worth a watch. If you are a horror movie fan, we suggest you give it a watch at a theatre, instead of waiting for it to be available on an online streaming platform.

Our Rating: (3.5 / 5)
