I have to be blunt and admit that I was not a fan of ANNABELLE in any way shape or form (even if came as a spirt of a sadistic serial killer). My hope was that the film would have been in essence the haunting of a possessed doll and portrayed like it was in THE CONJURING. I left the theatre depressed, so much that I actually was Annabelle for Halloween that year. Yea. that was interesting.
The description of the sequel is as follows:
Several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.
David Sandberg is a terrific storyteller and that branches out to the unexpected and unknown, so I have high hopes for this film.
ANNABELLE 2Â will be released in theaters on May 19, 2017. While at the premiere of Lights Out this past July, Sandberg had mentioned that he was wrapping up on filming. I am pretty stoked to see what the big guy comes up with.
