Released in cinemas on October 8, 2014, Annabelle is a horror film part of the Conjuring cinematic universe. Directed by John R. Leonetti and written by Gary Dauberman, this prequel explores the origins of the terrifying Annabelle doll, which has become an iconic figure in the horror genre. With captivating performances from Annabelle Wallis, Ward Horton and Alfre Woodard, the film tells the story of how a simple collectible is transformed into a demonic entity, wreaking havoc on the lives of a young couple. Available on Max from October 4, 2024 and on Netflix from October 9, 2024, Annabelle will plunge you into an oppressive and chilling atmosphere, perfect for an evening of chills.
John Form (Ward Horton) thinks he's found the perfect gift for his wife Mia (Annabelle Wallis), who's expecting a child. It's a rare antique doll in a white wedding dress. But what should be a tender gesture soon takes a sinister turn. One night, members of a satanic cult break into their home and brutally attack the couple. During this nightmare, the Annabelle doll becomes the host of a demonic entity. What begins as a series of strange and unsettling events soon turns into an unleashing of terror, as evil supernatural forces take over the couple's lives, threatening their unborn child. Horror gradually takes hold of their home, and Mia must confront the terrifying Annabelle to save her family.
Annabelle is aimed at horror film fans, especially those who follow the Conjuring universe, of which it is a spin-off. Fans of films where cursed objects play a central role, such as Chucky or Dead Silence, will be captivated by this story of demonic possession. This film skilfully plays on the most primal fears, notably by featuring a disturbing doll, an everyday object, which becomes the vector of horror. With an oppressive atmosphere, disturbing supernatural apparitions and a crescendo of tension, Annabelle manages to maintain a constant intensity throughout the film. The film's originality lies in its direct link with the paranormal events recounted in The Conjuring, while developing an independent narrative that explores the origin of the cursed doll.
Available on Max from October 4, 2024 and on Netflix from October 9, 2024, Annabelle is a film that will satisfy fans of chills and terror. This chilling tale from the Conjuring universe plunges viewers into an unhealthy atmosphere where every detail can become a source of anguish. With captivating performances by Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton, and effective direction by John R. Leonetti, this film is an intense plunge into supernatural horror. If you're looking for a film for a terrifying evening, Annabelle is the perfect choice to send shivers down your spine.
