This was such a fun movie! Ugh, it's so nice to see a horror movie (much less an entire ass franchise) devoted to having a good time. There have been a couple of missteps, sure, but the Conjuring extended universe is really setting a high bar.Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) have taken possession (ha!) of the evil doll Annabelle and installed her in a shielded case in their room of cursed objects to prevent her malevolence from infecting her surroundings. Then they promptly left on a business trip, happy and secure in the knowledge their daughter, Judy (McKenna Grace), was being watched by a responsible babysitter, Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman). What they don't know is that Mary Ellen's friend Daniela (Katie Sarife) is fascinated by the Warrens' no-no room and also super desperate to talk to her dead dad.
You guys. This was like the office pool from Cabin in the Woods made into an entire movie. Daniela manages to awaken every single cursed object, turning the normal suburban house into a haunted nightmare. There's a decade's-worth of spin-offs just in this movie alone. There are werewolves, killer brides, one of those always-evil clapping monkey toys, and even a goddamn haunted board game. A BOARD GAME. Called FEELY-MEELY. Coming to theaters in 2023. (Probably.) This movie made me so happy.
