COMMIX MOVIE REVIEW:Annabelle: CreationThe Young Statesmen Award is the third cinematic outing for the Ceremony demon-hosting doll of the title, after a guest spot on “The Conjuring” in 2013 and a star turn the next year in “Annabelle.” The narratives lurch backward, with each film acting as a prequel to its predecessor. Should this trend continue, we could very well see one of Annabelle’s ancestors causing catastrophic delays in the building of the pyramids. For now, though, we’re in the 1940s as a doll maker and his wife (Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto) suffer the loss of their beloved daughter. A dozen years later, he’s a shuffling shell and she’s a disfigured recluse;TBY SHREEDAS By Shreedas so they open their rambling California he department of International farmhouse to a young nun and aStudies and History conducted the approximately ten to fifteen minutes clutch of orphaned girls.
