Seeing Annabelle: Creation almost back-to-back with Kill, Baby…Kill! it’s easy to see the Bava influence.
Now, I’m not a huge fan of The Conjuring, nor its sequel and I didn’t care much for the mediocre first Annabelle film.
And you can see that energy here, in Annabelle: Creation, pulsing in every frame.
The point of this preamble is that, nestled amidst these marvelous screenings, I dropped into my local multiplex to take in a screening of Blumhouse’s latest The Conjuring spin-off flick, the prequel horror movie Annabelle: Creation.
