Judy is just like any other kid. She has loving parents and a babysitter she gets along great with. The only thing that makes her different is her parents are the famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Judy can see things too. One night her babysitter and her friend accidentally unleash Annabelle.
This movie is the direct sequel to the last Annabelle movie, the third in the Annabelle series, and a prequel to The Conjuring series. Directed by Gary Dauberman and written by James Wan and Dauberman, Annabelle Comes Home is one of the few movies to be a sequel and a prequel.
Judy, played by Mckenna Grace, is just like her mom. She too can see spirits but doesn't tell anyone. Grace is best known for her role in Gifted and playing young Tonya in I, Tonya. She is great as Judy and stands on her own against the "adults" in the film. Ed and Lorraine, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, are hardly in the movie so it's up to Grace and the teenagers to carry the film.
The movie itself is slow to start but once the scares get going they work pretty well and continue the rest of the film. Sadly, all the demons get muddied and had they stuck to just two or three terrorizing them it would have been more effective. The plot is pretty good as well. It keeps you interested and entertained. It has funny moments, sad moments and plenty of jumpscares.
The Annabelle movies won't win an Oscar for anything anytime soon, this is probably one of the best in the series. Once you get over the initial slow hump it thrills and chills until the end. If you love James Wan and the universe he has created then you are sure to love Annabelle Comes Home.
