In my opinion, the previous work of this show is very routine, and the mode of surprise makes people feel very low. Although the play still inherits this feature that is not an advantage. However, the scary way has gone from the shock of the previous work to the classic setting of the devil possessed. Although the horror color has been weakened, a single person thinks that the overall quality is higher than the previous work.
The effect of the devil's possession in this play completely depends on the amazing performance of the little heroine. Although the young heroine in this film is very good-looking, her sudden appearance and her face sinking like water still have a very strong color of horror. Mr. Mullins, the creator of the Annabelle doll, is also a very good actor. Whether it is the love of his father or the loneliness after losing his beloved daughter, he has performed quite well.
But for this series, it doesn't matter whether it is a scary routine or the creation of a terrifying atmosphere. The meaning of this book is to complement the setting of the world view. This one actually does a great job.
Regarding the story behind Annabelle, the previous work is actually vague. The crazy woman who suddenly rushed out to commit suicide in the previous work is more like a scary routine set by the director, and the previous work did not dig in-depth on this point. This work, based on this crazy woman, explained the birth of Annabelle and made a good connection with the previous work.
Annabelle is a limited-edition doll from toy maker Mullins.
Apart from being ugly, this doll has no other features. It was originally intended to be sold on the market. But unfortunately, Mullins' child died in a car accident.
The Mullins couple in great grief hoped to use supernatural power to reach the child's soul, so using the Annabelle doll as a medium, they summoned a certain devil. The devil is good at deceiving people. For his own special purpose, he hides it. In the doll, and from time to time incarnate as Mullins daughter to deceive the couple.
Over time, Mullins found that what he saw was not his own daughter, and that the so-called doll became more and more evil and uncontrollable, so he adopted the suggestion of the local priest and sealed the strange doll, together with the doll. devil inside
In order to further clarify the darkness of the house and summon the sin of the devil, Mullins contacted an orphan management group to provide them with a house to take care of them (the orphan management groups at that time were all under the church).
However, Janice in the orphan group, unfortunately opened the seal, was possessed by the devil, and killed the other orphans, the Mullins and his wife, and eventually both the doll and Janice were repelled. The doll was confiscated by the police and moved to a medieval store (later obtained by the male protagonist of the previous work and presented to the female protagonist). Janice was introduced to the Higgins family for adoption by another orphanage, under the pseudonym "Annabelle Higgins", which is the crazy woman who committed suicide by grabbing the doll in the first step.
From this, a relatively complete demon's activity logic can also be seen: the demon was first born with the help of the Mullins family's longing for their daughter, and then attached to the ghost doll. Through Janice, the object of the devil's attachment changed from a doll to a real person. For a long time since then, the devil has existed in the world in the image of Janice. And develop a cult and carry out conspiracy with greater intentions. . .
As mentioned above, the whole logic can be linked together, but there are big logical problems:
First of all, if the devil is so powerful, how did Mr. Mullins seal it up with the Bible?
Secondly, this work describes the birth of the doll, but does not explain how the devil was born. Who is the initiator of the summoning of the devil, what conspiracy is there, and what is the real identity of the devil?
Third, the devil's purpose is very clear, that is, to be summoned again, but he will be attached to the doll at one time, and the girl at another time, and his behavior is completely incoherent. Why is this?
From the point of view of the world view, this work has explained some problems and coherent part of the logic, but the hole has not been filled. There is no clear explanation of what the devil doll will do after being sacrificed by the black maid. I feel that this series should have a follow-up to completely eliminate the ghost doll, and the little girl who has always been close to Janice in this work may be the one who destroyed the doll. key person.
There are some details that I find very interesting, and I wrote them down to share with you:
1. As the originator of the summoning of the devil, the Muslims and Muslims only have the difference in word order. Is this the main creator's intention?
2. Among Janice's orphan companions in this work, there is a girl who looks very much like Gal Gadot. . . .
3. The mentor of the orphan in this work is a black nun, and the savior of the previous heroine is also a black aunt. Both of these two works relatively praise the dedication of the black community, which should be regarded as a kind of political correctness.
