Hollywood loves sequels and spin-offs, but usually these revolve around the characters or situations from a movie – not the props. However Annabelle is a film that’s based around the creepy doll we saw in The Conjuring.
The trailer suggests this will be an origin story, letting us know how the doll became the object of evil that caused so much trouble in the case Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated, where it was being manipulated by a demon.
However it still doesn’t explain why anyone would want such an impressive ugly toy in their house to start with.
Annabelle Wallis, Alfre Woodard, Ward Horton, Tony Amendola, Eric Ladin, and Brian Howe star in the film, with Gary Dauberman directing. A pre-Halloween release is planned.
Take a look at the trailer below.
