A witty, fun-loving teen film a la “Adventures in Babysitting” set within a modern horror blockbuster. It had myself and the rest of the theater laughing throughout. Annabelle 3 follows Judy and her babysitter who are left alone in her house after her parents leave to investigate a case.
Parents need to know that Annabelle is a prequel to the horror movie The Conjuring, about a possessed doll. There's lots of bloody horror, splattering blood, and scary images, plus some jump-shock moments, shooting, fighting, and dead bodies. A pregnant woman and, later, a small child are in jeopardy.

Horror fans will probably want to see this, but it's not likely to be as big as The Conjuring was. The Annabelle trilogy comes to in end in Annabelle Comes Home. Despite the title, the film isn't really about Annabelle; as she's only one of several cursed objects that have to be overcome. Still, the writers come up with some rather creative and frightening demonic spirits. And, they do a good job at building suspense and tension.
There's a stabbing in the stomach, and a scene of a ghost "vomiting" a stream of blood into a character's face. A character is bullied, and a man is nearly hit by a truck. Language includes a use of "f--k" and a few uses of "s--t" and "balls." Teens flirt a bit, and a teen boy tries for a kiss but is thwarted.

In February 2019, Joseph Bishara—who composed the scores for The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, and The Curse of La Llorona—was revealed to be scoring Annabelle Comes Home. On March 30, 2019, Kirk M. Morri was announced as the film's editor. Ed and Lorraine return the next morning, and the girls approach them to recount the eventful night.
While it has some nods to obscure 80s classics, it wholly feels original. The scares and set-pieces are inventive and often astonishing. Just the presence of Ed and Lorraine at the start fills the movie with a sense of false comfort because it makes you feel like the rest film will be in good hands.
But on the upside, other than the scary/gory stuff, there's not too much other iffy content of note -- no sex, strong language, alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. Though the central couple is married and affectionate, they're very rarely physical onscreen . And since the movie is set in the 1960s, not many brand names are shown.
Dauberman also has a great deal of fun with the forbidden room and all its various, monstrous treasures. Little Judy, who seems to have picked up some of her mother's clairvoyance, is having trouble at school because of her parents' work and can't seem to make friends. Daniela is also quite touching, hoping to communicate with her dead father while blaming herself for his death; she's more than just a busybody poking around where she shouldn't be. And it's a welcome surprise to see Farmiga and Wilson back as the Warrens. All in all, everything clicks satisfyingly into place for a solid scarefest that's worth getting dolled up for.

While the movie isn't especially original, it's well-made and has plenty of intense scares. Expect lots of scary ghosts, demons, and monsters, as well as very spooky sounds and music. One creature wields a knife while wearing a bloody dress, and another has a bloody face.
With images of the Manson Family murders showing on the television, two murderous creeps break into Mia and John's home; while John fights them off, Mia is stabbed, and Annabelle is caught in the fray. The baby is born, and the couple moves to a new apartment, but the disturbances continue, and the ghosts and spooky disturbances give way to images of a demon. With the help of a bookseller , Mia learns that the doll won't stop until it possesses a human soul. Family movie reviews, movie ratings, fun film party ideas and pop culture news — all with parents in mind. Ed and Lorraine Warren are getting burnt out by their attempts to contain the dangers of the occult and decide to take an overnight vacation. Confident that a cursed doll named Annabelle is secure in a box made of sanctified chapel glass in a locked room in their basement, the Warrens leave their daughter Judy home with a babysitter, Mary Ellen .
It did not deliver the scare factor, and if it did, the execution is not strong enough. Imagine a war without any explosion, no damage dealt, and no one have gotten into a serious war shock after the climatic commotions – this is how I felt watching this movie. In this third Annabelle movie's case, the potential of its story is wasted because of continuous cheap scare-centric. But the question is, is Annabelle Comes Home a waste of time?
Slightly more violent prequel connects the first two movies. Two crew members were nominated for their work on the film. Leah Butler was nominated in the Best Costume Design category at the 2019 Fright Meter Awards.Gary Dauberman was nominated as Legion M Breakthrough Director at the 2019 Saturn Awards. Younger audiences should try Jumanji , another story about dangerous toys. 2006’s Night at the Museum follows an unfortunate night security guard who finds that he may not be protecting the museum from the public – he is protecting the public from the museum.
