\"\"<\/a>Even as a fan of \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d movie universe, I\u2019ll admit that the movies within the line up of the Warrens\u2019 saga have been a mixed bag. But the foot work and improvements they\u2019ve made on the \u201cAnnabelle\u201d saga has been pretty fantastic as the studio finally seems to have a firm grasp on why the character is so popular and why she poses such a threat to the Warrens within this movie universe. \u201cAnnabelle Comes Home\u201d is an ultimate battle of good vs. evil, exploring how the fight against the paranormal begins and ends at the Warrens\u2019 home base.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Set between the events of \u201cAnnabelle\u201d and \u201cThe Conjuring,\u201d this mid-quel is centered on Ed and Lorraine\u2019s daughter Judy. After seizing Annabelle, the Warrens bring the cursed doll home and lock her up in her case among their gallery of artifacts. When they are forced to leave for the weekend, Judy is left with her young babysitter Mary Ellen and her best friend Daniela. When Daniela\u2019s curiosity gets the best of her, she accidentally breaks Annabelle free from her prison. Now with Annabelle unleashed and garnering her own ulterior motives, she takes hold of the Warrens\u2019 gallery of objects, prompting the trio to fight off the array of monsters and ghosts before they\u2019re set loose on the world by Annabelle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnabelle Comes Home\u201d tries to fill in the gaps between the various films in \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d franchise, and works for the most part, exploring how Annabelle came in to the possession of the Warrens. But the movie is also meant to explore the massive power she tends to hold, and how she\u2019s much more than a possessed doll. She\u2019s also a beacon for massive evil, and once she\u2019s set loose, she\u2019s a horrifying villain. \u201cAnnabelle Comes Home\u201d successfully establishes the Warrens\u2019 world, exploring their home life and their young daughter. It\u2019s accomplished thanks to the McKenna Grace, who is always great in these kinds of genre films.<\/p>\n

Grace is entertaining as the often enigmatic but heroic Judy who seems to be going through an evolution of her own involving experiences with the supernatural. It\u2019s only implied sporadically why Annabelle has a fascination with Judy but I hope we find out eventually. The movie for the most part is a great and raucously fun monster movie teaming Judy against a gallery of various demons and ghosts that are absolutely horrifying and manage to wreak their own form of terror on screen. \u201cAnnabelle Comes Home\u201d doesn\u2019t make much of a case for its importance in the timeline, but it\u2019s a wonderful side tale with top notch direction, stellar scares, and a brilliant heroine established by McKenna Grace who continues impressing.<\/p>\n

The new release comes with a DVD and Digital copy for consumers. The features include a Behind the Scenes<\/strong> segment with three small chapters. This BTS focuses on the production, as well as the new monsters within the Conjuring Universe including the Ferryman, the Bloody Bride, and The Werewolf. The Artifact Room and The Occult <\/strong>is a five minute segment exploring the Warrens\u2019 room of cursed items, how they come up with some of them, ones they bring back and the film\u2019s chance to introduce new ones they hadn\u2019t. The Light and the Love <\/strong>is a four minutes sit down with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, both of whom talk about their characters\u2019 relationship and fun with the movies as well as director James Wans\u2019 desire to show them as the light in the dark worlds they explore. Finally there are eleven minutes of Deleted Scenes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
