Personally, I really enjoyed Lights Out as well, but even if you didnвЂ™t, you should be able to recognize that Sandberg knows and loves horror.ДЄnd, of course, we also get to see his wife Lotta Losten in Annabelle: CreationВ in a small, but significant role. Sandberg proving that heвЂ™s a horror-master of the best kind. Sandberg is a master of horrorДЄs a Scandinavian, IвЂ™m very proud to have Swedish David F. ItвЂ™s not necessary to enjoy Annabelle: CreationВ butВ it does add a little something extra! David F. Effectively, this means it ties in absolutely perfectly with the previous story.ДЄlso, this means itвЂ™s a good idea to watch the first Annabelle movie. In fact, the story in Annabelle: CreationВ continues straight up to the beginning of the first movie. Since this is a prequel to the first AnnabelleВ movie and essentially an origin (or вЂњcreationвЂќ) story, itвЂ™s extremely important that it fits perfectly with the first movie.

Also, sound and image constantly working in perfect balance to create pure terror! Simply the perfect origin story A creepy barn with a lifelike scarecrow and an old well out back. Most importantly, Annabelle: Creation is classic horror in a way everyone should enjoy. And in this story, thereвЂ™s a brief cameo and teaser for the next spin-off in this crazy James Wan horror universe: The Nun. Oh yeah, and the fact that sheвЂ™s a nun, which вЂ“ besides dolls вЂ“ is the horror element of The Conjuring universe is no coincidence. She has such warmth and sincerity without being gullible to the girlsвЂ™ tricks. I also want to mention Stephanie Sigman, who plays the young nun taking care of the girls. She just fits in perfectly with these origin stories that take place decades ago. In Annabelle: CreationВ sheвЂ™s dealing with a very different character, but sheвЂ™s just as intense and impressive as she was in Ouija 2.

Her best friend is Linda, whoвЂ™s played by Lulu Wilson, who most will probably recognize from Ouija 2.В Even if you havenвЂ™t bothered to watch the movie (which you should!), sheвЂ™s featured prominently in all the promotional material. Bateman was also in the sci-fi adventure The 5th Wave which starred ChloГ« Grace Moretz. A young girlВ struggling with the aftermath of polio, which has her in leg-braces. Talitha Bateman portrays the character of Janice. Experienced horror-stars at a very young age And of course, these are also the victims of the evil forces at play.

And with the upcoming feature film version of Stephen KingвЂ™s It (the previous adaptation was a TV mini-series), itвЂ™s very much a current trend.Д®specially the two youngest girlsВ are giving amazing performances in Annabelle: Creation.

ThereвЂ™s the aforementioned The Orphanage and (of course!) It, but also the recent Netflix smash hit Stranger Things. And really, this is exactly what works well with horror movies: Putting the kids front and center. In this case, it was actually a pleasant twist. Whenever well-known names are part of the cast, you expect them to play big parts. This isnвЂ™t to say anything bad about the adult actors, I was just surprised they didnвЂ™t have more prominent storylines. I actually expected Miranda Otto ( Lord of the Rings) to have a much more prominent role, but the young girls are at the heart of the story.В Anthony LaPaglia does have a bigger role than Miranda Otto, but itвЂ™s still very limited compared to Lulu Wilson and Talitha Bateman. The girls are scene stealers in the best way!ДЄnd letвЂ™s be completely honest, the girls in Annabelle: CreationВ are the stars.

We get to know the sweet and innocent orphan girls to make the contrast that much bigger when the evil and darkness enters the story.
