The first Annabelle made a boatload of cash (over $250 million worldwide) on a minimal budget, but the film was not received well by critics and horror fans who deemed it inferior to The Conjuring.
Annabelle: Creation is the fourth film in The Conjuring Universe, and is the prequel to 2014’s Annabelle.
The two open their home to a nun and several girls from an orphanage, but who soon become targets of Annabelle.
The story is focused on a dollmaker and his wife who lost their young daughter in an accident 20 years earlier.
