Critics Sentiment
Annabelle and her boyfriend murder the Higgins neighbors
The family moves to their new Pasadena apartment
The film drops significantly from the effective home invasion sequence to the slow, generic middle section where character development stalls
Annabelle starts promisingly with an effective setup and genuinely scary home invasion sequence, but quickly loses momentum in its middle act with weak character development and predictable scares. While the film features a few standout horror moments and strong supporting performances, critics consistently noted its reliance on cheap jump scares over genuine atmosphere, making it feel like a lazy cash grab compared to The Conjuring.
