Annabelle

Annabelle, due to technical issues, will be the movie this week.

3.5 out of 5.

1) Production- This is a good looking movie.  The production, lighting, sound, all note worthy.   Also of note I feel I need to give props to the prop people.  I can only imagine how difficult it might be to find period appropriate clothing, cars, and baby stuff.  Good work.

2) Story Line -  This story is good, reminds me of chucky, the exorcist, and ammityville horror.  Not the whole story, but some similarities could be drawn.

3) Actors- The actors are good.  None take away from the story.

4) Effects-  The effects are good, there is not a lot of gore.  The camera angles are very note worthy, and some of the camera tricks really set the mood and tone well.

5) Adult Stuff- Cheesy One Liners, Bad Language, Booze, Drugs, Blood, Bondage, Guts, Gore, Hoochie Girls, Boobs, Sex, Vagina, Penis, Penis Trauma

*NOTE- a WTF in the story line means there was something or someone that made me say WTF on a large enough scale that it distracted or interrupted the story line.

This is a well told story, had some good creepy make you jump moments, but there were times where the build up went on a bit long.  Once I notice I am building I shuffle in my seat, take my hand away from my throat and take a deep breath.  Then it doesn't get me.  I found my self shuffling a couple times in the movie.  It was also in my mind not a very original story, well told and some good new startle techniques.  I say watch it, allow yourself to get into and enjoy the creeps.  Low on gore and no boobs, but worth a watch.  Probably with a chick who wants to cuddle when they get scared but you don't want to gross out with too much blood.

If you would like to add it to your collection.
