Will be seeing this one on the 18th
Well, here's my unprofessional review of Annabelle...sans spoilers...
It had some creepy factor, a lot of good jump scares and a little gore. It did not overplay the gore which I liked. Too many horror movies rely more on the disgust factor than actually scaring you. So it gets a star for that. Really, my only problem is that I wish it had played up the creepy factor while dialing down the jump scares so that there would have been a balance between.
Other than that, it was a good scare. I liked it. I would have made a horrible film critic because I think reviews are worthless. The only way to know if you like it is to go see it.
