VOD: Annabelle Comes Home (dir: Gary Dauberman, 2019)

"What is happening?"

After a vaguely promising upswing in quality and ideas in the first sequel (Annabelle Creation), Annabelle Comes Home brings us firmly back down to earth with this dull, silly franchise entry.  With the Warrens summarily absent for most of the film, what we are effectively left with is a babysitter-in-peril bottle show that is hampered by some very weak performances and over-extended sequences that would test anyone's patience.  There may be an interesting tale to tell with this possessed doll, but Comes Home certainly is not that tale.
