WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Loving husband John Form (Horton) buys his expectant wife Mia (Wallis) a beautiful, rare vintage doll named Annabelle for their unborn child.

An entity that just so happens to possess Annabelle…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

After a memorable appearance in hit horror flick The Conjuring, creepy doll Annabelle – based on the real life doll said to be just as haunted as its film counterpart – is front and centre in her own spin-off movie that’s destined to creep the socks off of audiences.
