What to Know

Critics Consensus

Annabelle: Creation adds another strong chapter to the Conjuring franchise - and offers further proof that freaky-looking dolls remain reliably terrifying.

Jake Wilson

Sydney Morning Herald

Sometimes a creepy-looking doll is just a creepy-looking doll and no amount of repetition can make the sweet old song You Are My Sunshine even the slightest bit scary.

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

The film exists simply to get us somewhere we've already been, and so the level of invention in the storytelling declines right when it should be ramping up.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

For the first two acts, while Annabelle: Creation concerns itself with little girls checking under beds and investigating things that go bump in the night, it's equal to James Wan's Conjuring films.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

Sure, it will still feel very familiar, but I appreciated the practical effects over digital, the keen eye for tension-building, and the patient buildup.

Rated: 3.5/5

It stops being fun and starts dwelling on pain.

Deep Focus Review

While defusing laughter often accompanies this sort of material, it's best employed when we're not laughing at the film.
