Plot

edit

A dollmaker named Samuel Mullins and his wife Esther grieve for the loss of their seven-year-old daughter Annabelle, nicknamed "Bee", who dies when she accidentally steps in front of a car.

Twelve years later, the Mullins open their home to provide shelter for Sister Charlotte and six girls left homeless by the closing of their orphanage. Despite having been warned to avoid Bee's locked bedroom, Janice, a young orphan disabled bypolio,discovers a note saying "Find me" and sneaks into the room, which has mysteriously become unlocked. She finds a key for Bee's closet and opens it, where she sees an eerie porcelain doll. This unwittingly releases a powerful demon that begins to terrorize the girls.

One night, the demon, taking Bee's form, appears to Janice, saying that it wants her soul. Although she attempts to get away using astairlift,the demon recalls the stairlift and hurls her violently down to the ground floor, leaving her severely injured and confined to a wheelchair. With Janice now confined to the first floor, her best friend Linda is now having to sleep alone and is tormented by the demon.

One morning, the demon, posing as Sister Charlotte, wheels Janice into the old barn, where, in the form of Bee, it attacks and possesses her after throwing up black bile directly into Janice's mouth. Linda notices changes in Janice's behavior and tells Samuel that Janice snuck into Bee's room and found the doll. Samuel immediately believes Linda and heads inside where he comes across Janice, who can now walk. Janice transforms into the demon and brutally kills Samuel who follows her while holding a crucifix, forcing him to drop it after moving his fingers backwards one by one. Outside, Sister Charlotte hears his screams and is horrified to find him dead on the floor.

That evening Linda takes Janice's doll and throws it into the well. A strange noise comes from the well and she is almost dragged into it, but Sister Charlotte saves her. Upon returning inside to find Janice gone from the couch, Sister Charlotte wakes the orphans who go look for her as an alarmed Sister Charlotte speaks with the disfigured Esther, who is confined to her bedroom. Esther reveals that after Bee's death, they prayed to whatever entity would grant their wish to see their daughter again. An unknown entity answered their prayer and though they briefly saw Bee's spirit, the entity convinced them to transfer its essence into one of Samuel's crafted dolls. They happily agreed but soon realized they had attracted a demon looking for a human host. One night, Esther saw Bee's spirit transforming into the demon, which then gouged out her eye and resulted in her wearing a half doll-like mask to conceal her injury and the scars. Enlisting the help of priests to bless the house, they locked the doll in Bee's closet. Esther and Samuel opened their house as a shelter for orphan children to repent for their actions, but Esther now regrets it since this has provided an opportunity for the demon to look for a human host. The demon then murders Esther and attacks Sister Charlotte. While some of the orphans are able to leave the house, Linda is trapped and hides in Bee's room as the possessed Janice tries to stab her. Sister Charlotte locks Janice and the doll inside the closet.

The next day, police arrive to search the house and find only the doll, which they remove as evidence but not before a priest blesses the home. Sister Charlotte, Linda, and the orphans are escorted away by officers to find another new home for the orphans, while Janice escapes through a hole in the closet wall and relocates to an orphanage inSanta Monica.Still possessed, she becomes reclusive and calls herself Annabelle. Pete and Sharon Higgins soon adopt Annabelle.

Twelve years later, after being involved in devil worship, a grown-up Annabelle returns home and murders her adoptive parents, awakening Mia, who warns John about Sharon Higgins's screams.

Development

edit

In October 2015, it was confirmed that anAnnabellesequel was in development.[6]David F. SandbergreplacedAnnabelle'sJohn R. Leonettias the sequel's director in March 2016.[7]He has described himself as a fan of the franchise, especially the first one, since they were "more of a classic, old-school horror movie in many ways".[8]James WanandNew Line Cinemaapproached Sandberg to helm the sequel during the post-production onLights Out,after they were impressed by the early cuts of the film. Sandberg and Wan had met each other during production ofLights Out,as the movie was produced by Wan'sAtomic Monster.[9]Sandberg did not want to direct another formulaic horror sequel but, after reading the script and realizing how it deviated from the first film, he agreed to direct it.[10]He was attracted to it as it was a standalone film, which granted him more creative freedom. The fact that it was a period piece made it more appealing to him.[8]The first film's screenwriter,Gary Dauberman,returned to write the script, with Peter Safran and James Wan returning to produce. In March 2017, Sandberg revealed the film would be a prequel to the originalAnnabellefilm, titledAnnabelle: Creation.[11]

Sandberg drew references from the look of the 1963 psychological horror filmThe Haunting,due to its use ofCinemaScopecinematography, and cited the score ofThe Shiningas the biggest inspiration for the film's chilling music.[12][8]He also borrowed inspiration from the "old school" feel ofThe Conjuring.[13]He decided he would rely upon tension and suspense as opposed to jump scares. Unlike his debut filmLights Out,in which he meticulously crafted each scene beforehand, Sandberg took a different approach toAnnabelle: Creation.WithAnnabelle,he "was inspired by the set and moment"[13]and so did not prepare with extensive storyboards or diagrams, instead relying on the mantra, "We'll figure it out on set together. We'll make it work."[12]

Sandberg softened some of Annabelle's features to make her more believable as a child's toy, having the cheeks filled-out and fi xing her overbite.[14]He found shooting with the doll challenging since the object was immobile, and he needed to use other objects—such as a sheet—to make her move around.[8]An exorcist, Father Robert, was a consultant on the film.[15]

Casting

edit
Stephanie SigmanandDavid F. SandbergdiscussAnnabelle: Creationin 2017

In June 2016,Talitha Bateman,Miranda Otto,andStephanie Sigmanwere cast to star in the film.[16][17]Bateman and fellow child actressesLulu Wilsonand Samara Lee had all seenThe Exorcist,and Samara was named afterSamara MorganfromThe Ring,so despite working on a horror movie, none of the young actresses were disturbed by the film's subject, although some of them did state that they were unsettled by the doll. They said that they did not feel tension or fear throughout production, and Sandberg remarked that the only challenge in working with them was restrictions in terms of hours on the set—such as they could not work after midnight or work overtime—since they were under age.[13][8]Bateman was one of the actresses that James Wan had considered for the role of Janet inThe Conjuring 2.However, the part eventually went toMadison Wolfe.Since the script demanded a group of children, they brought Bateman in to audition, having been impressed by her screen tests previously.[9]Her brother,Gabriel Bateman,starred in Sandberg'sLights Out.[8]Wilson auditioned for the role of Linda because she wanted to play a horror protagonist, having played an antagonist inOuija: Origin of Evil.Creationmarked her third time starring in a horror film, followingDeliver Us from EvilandOuija.[18]

Anthony LaPagliaagreed to star in the film after his 14-year-old daughter overheard him talking on the phone about the movie and responded enthusiastically to her father taking the role.[12]He has described his character as "a mysterious, quiet-yet-gruff man who is mourning both the loss of his daughter and the medical degeneration of his wife. The young orphans who move into the now-dilapidated house fear him."[19]To get into character, he did not mingle with the young actresses very much on set. He would intentionally distance himself from them so that during filming they would naturally not like him very much.[20]

Filming

edit

Principal photographybegan on June 27, 2016, inLos Angeles,California, at theWarner Bros. Studios, Burbanklot,[21][22]and concluded on August 15, 2016.[23]The film received California film and television tax credits in the amount of $2.4million after spending $17.4million in the state.[24]Sandberg decided to useSteadicamandtracking shots,because of the film's period setting, and he wanted to maintain the "old school" feel of the first twoThe Conjuringfilms.[8]According to Sandberg, he does not believe in ghosts or demonic entities, saying, "I haven't experienced anything in life that would lead me to believe they exist". Sandberg reported that actress Stephanie Sigman, who played Sister Charlotte, was "a little bit freaked out by that doll" and, after hearing that a priest had blessed the set ofThe Conjuring 2,requested the same ritual be performed for this film.[25]

On November 23, 2016,Benjamin Wallfischwas hired to compose the music for the film.[26]

edit

Annabelle: Creationgrossed $102.1million in the United States and Canada and $204.4million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $306.5million, against a production budget of $15million.[2]With its release, it pushedThe Conjuringfranchise past the $1billion threshold, making it only the third horror series to cross that mark, after theAlienfranchiseandResident Evilseries.[35]Deadline Hollywoodcalculated the film made a net profit of $108.7million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[36]

In North America, the film was released alongsideThe Nut Job 2: Nutty by NatureandThe Glass Castle,and was projected to gross around $30million from 3,502 theaters in its opening weekend.[37]The film grossed $4million from its Thursday night previews, the highest ofThe Conjuringseries and double the originalAnnabelle's $2.1million.[38]It went on to open to $35million.[39]In its second weekend, the film dropped 55.7% to earn another $15.5million, which was a smaller second-weekend drop thanAnnabelle(57%) andThe Conjuring 2(63%), and the best second-weekend hold of the franchise since the initialConjuringfilm (46%).[40][35]

Outside North America, the film was released to positive reception from international audiences, which is reflected in its box office performance. It broke several opening records for the horror genre as well as for the studio and came in ahead ofThe ConjuringandAnnabellein many markets. The week prior to its domestic release, the film debuted in Italy at number one, with $1.1million.[41]It earned $35.4million on its opening weekend from 39 markets, almost on par with its domestic debut and marking the second-biggest international opening in the franchise, behind onlyThe Conjuring 2.Overall, the film was number two at the international box office afterWolf Warrior 2.[42]The film expanded to 56 markets in its sophomore weekend, adding a handful of major markets and thereby topping the worldwide chart for the first time with an estimated $42million.[43][44]

It recorded the highest opening weekend in the franchise in 26 markets and the biggest launch for a horror film of all time in Sweden, Poland, Portugal, India, Malaysia ($2.2million), the UAE ($1.1million) and Vietnam.[42]The top openings came from Mexico ($8million), Korea ($6.7million), and India ($9.8million).[42][43]In South Korea, the film grossed $1.2million from Thursday previews.[45]Despite its South Korean release falling during diplomatic tensions, it ultimately opened there with $6.7million, as the number-one foreign release and the third-highest-grossing movie overall behind local filmsA Taxi DriverandMidnight Runners.[42]

Critical response

edit

The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted it as an improvement over its predecessor.[46]On thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,70% of 191 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "Annabelle: Creationadds another strong chapter to the Conjuring franchise - and offers further proof that freaky-looking dolls remain reliably terrifying. "[47]Metacritic,which uses aweighted average,assigned the film a score of 62 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[48]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of B on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by the firstAnnabellefilm, while those atPostTrakgave it an average 4 out of 5 stars and a 56% "definite recommend".[49][39]

Justin Lowe ofThe Hollywood Reportercalled it "wickedly terrifying," and said it was "closer in tone and old-school psychological fright tactics to the original film than eitherThe Conjuring 2orAnnabelle."[50]Peter Debruge ofVariety,while criticising the plot, said the film nevertheless "manages to conjure some effective scares," and that "this effective yet empty-headed horror movie goes to show how eager audiences are to be scared, and how even an unsightly doll can do the trick when the spirit is willing."[51]Similarly, Chris Hewitt ofEmpirefelt that while the "movie can't hold a flickering candle to the James Wan–directed entries in the series... it's got plenty of decent shocks, and the odd genuine surprise, up its sleeve".[52]However, Emily Yoshida ofVulturewrote that "Annabelle: Creation's countless sequences of foreboding silence—hands reaching for doorknobs, our heroines shuddering in the dark, waiting for their demonic tormentor to attack—offer nothing to really latch on to, no larger reason to care that's not purely technical ".[53]Chris Nashawaty ofEntertainment Weeklygave the film a "C" grade, calling it "a mishmash of clichés and nonsense" and writing that "none of this will seem new to horror fans".[54]
