The latest work of "The Conjuring Universe", "Annabelle 3", although the first two films had extremely poor reputation, fans are still looking forward to the end of this series.

("Annabelle 3" Rotten Tomatoes word of mouth)

The number 3 in the title means the third film in the series, but if you haven't seen the first two or any of the "Conjuring Universe" films, that's fine.

The plot of this time directly follows the beginning of the first part of "The Conjuring", the story that happened after the hero and heroine Warren and his wife solved the Annabelle doll incident. In the trailer, we can see the clear context of the entire plot of "Annabelle 3", and the threshold for watching movies can be said to be very low.

Generally speaking, the story is relatively simple: one of the three little girls, under the premise that the exorcist Warren and his wife were not at home, opened the basement where the evil spirits were stored , and planned to "visit here".

It's just that there is no "visit by ticket", as a "little master of death", she is also bold enough. I don't know who gave her the courage to touch the unknown objects in the basement. (No wonder the exhibits in the museum are forbidden to touch, there is a reason)

Not only that, Annabelle, the most popular exhibit in the venue, was even opened by her to seal the cabinet door and repeatedly " played with it" under the premise of ignoring the "Do not open" warning sign .

Annabelle, who is the "evil tyrant", is treated like this by a mortal girl, which is a shame for the evil spirit world! With the powerful ability to attract and manipulate evil spirits, gather all the evil spirits in the basement and play a game with the girls.

The selling point of "Annabelle 3" is mainly due to the establishment of the "Conjuring" universe, which can bring together a large number of evil spirits into one movie, which is quite similar to the "Avengers" in the horror film industry. The main reason why the evil spirit group headed by Annabelle in the film is known and feared is that they really existed.

In this film, there is a scene that pays tribute to the doll itself. When the heroine was watching TV, the doll that the host gave the child as a reward in the TV show was the prototype of Annabelle.

Although "Annabelle 3" is generally completed, as a horror film, it has many shortcomings in the most important "horror" atmosphere.

Even if a large number of horror elements are brought together at one time, it is full of gimmicks, but the scary method in the film is still only a routine of jump scare, and it is mostly similar to the methods of other films in "The Conjuring Universe", and it is not like "The Nun" at the end. reversal of . Therefore, in terms of fright, it is still not as good as the "Conjuring" series directed by Wen Ziren himself.

Although the quality of "Annabelle 3" is mediocre, from the perspective of the plot, it is quite similar to some warning jokes that our parents told us when we were young. For example, "walking on the manhole cover will be unlucky and you have to hit yourself three times" to scare children, so as to prevent a fall accident from stepping on an unstable manhole cover.

What this film wants to express is probably to tell everyone not to be so curious when visiting other people's houses, and not to tamper with or break into other people's personal belongings and private space without permission. Or Annabelle will come to claim your soul~

Speaking of the end, if you are a loyal fan of the "Conjuring Series" who have watched it all the time, then the viewing expectation of "Annabelle 3" needs to be lowered by 2 points to watch it.

If you don't often come into contact with horror movies, then this movie may be a stepping stone to your "Conjuring Universe" to test the water. After reading it, if you feel that there is no problem and you are interested in the series, you might as well try the "Conjuring" series to appreciate the signature work of the horror master "Wen Ziren".
