ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
beorhhouse Five stars for the creepy visuals, which is all this movie is about. Nothing else. Oh yeah, and the perversion of hurting small children who can't defend themselves and also who pray but get no help from their guardian angels, saints, or God himself. Skip this one unless you like a jump scare fest.
rokchik07 Never have I felt compelled to write a review before the film even finished, but I am.... Cliche after cliche after cliche, no story, no originality, no scares... Just the same, old same old: Rocking horse = check, Dolls house = check, creepy old song = check, creepy kids drawing = check, doors slamming = check, Poltergeist rip off = check, creepy crawling girl = check!!! And this is all before the film ends.. Don't waste and hour n half of your life like I have!!
mmerda_zima The movie sounds stupid but it has a very sad meaning behind it. it's one of the most underrated movies on IMDB I think. 6.7? well I'm gonna say what the meaning is even though it may be subjective. these parents lose their child in a horrible accident and continue to live with the horrible memory. 12 years later some young orphans are coming to this haunted house.they are actually their own children that have no choice but living with this horrible atmosphere that exists in the house. the parents are responsible for it. the director wants to tell us that the memory of the parents' late daughter is in fact doing mental harm to their other innocent children. they might as well forget that accident. this is the meaning. the movie is very scary very suspensful and actually very sad.
Rainbowpug Okay, I'm a horror junky, I admit it. Being as that is, I don't scare easily. Slasher movies most often suck unless they're based in some form of reality, and ghost stories have to have a strong, psychological aspect to get me good. Dolls...something about them is just the peak of terrifying. My generation grew up with movies such as "Magic" and "Trilogy of Terror's Amelia", which were subtle, yet psychologically dismembering. Imagine my disappointment when Annabelle came out in 2014 and didn't give a single shudder! I left the theater more disappointed than I'd been in a long time. There was nothing scary about it, at all. When Annabelle Creation came to theaters, I avoided it like the plague. When it finally came on one of the pay channels, I decided I'd suffer through it just so I could say I did. Okay, wow. Annabelle Creation was scary. More than just the scary doll that almost completely lost its scariness because of the first movie, was that skinny, black creature you barely see, but is always there in the dark with glowing eyes. The isolation and darkness of the movie being set in the 1950's/60's, is probably what got me the most, though the sounds of incorporeal footsteps trailing behind them and getting louder each time they turned to look, sure did it's job in building up the terror. Most, not all, of the acting was impressive, too, though I didn't think the main character showed enough of a reaction to many of the things she was experiencing, I can only attribute that to possibly the naivete (or stupidity) of the character, or poor directing. I only know for sure how I would've reacted if something like that happened to me and there's little doubt I wouldn't have stroked out during the first encounter, even as a child. If I happened to survive that first encounter, there would've been NOTHING preventing me from running down that desolate dirt road like a banshee with its hair on fire. But if all the characters reacted like I would've, then there wouldn't be much of a story, right? All in all, this movie produces enough terrifying events to make you think before turning out the lights at night, and definitely before you do something stupid like getting into antique doll collecting.
