Don’t worry.  I saw ANNABELLE: CREATION so you don’t have to.  A few thoughts:

1. ANNABELLE: CREATION’s legacy will be that of a prequel to a prequel and one that’s miles better than the first prequel. (?!?)
2. Why did the theater closest to me only offer this film in dolby? Why do I have to pay for upgrades all the time at the movies?  WTF!
3. The acting is pretty decent, especially from the younger cast, but I miss Patrick Wilson’s tight polyester pants.
4. Annabelle is such an asshole.
5. The “scary” scenes actually work.  They’re very well done.  Too bad the movie is so slow-moving that it feels like a 3 hour break in between those scenes.
6. Shouldn’t Annabelle move… or something? She really just sits there.
7. Did I just spot an easter egg for the upcoming NUN film?  I see what you did there.
8. Annabelle really is an asshole.
9. Why don’t these girls scream when they’re being terrorized? Strange.
10. Oh great!  Are we going to get a scarecrow spinoff next?  I forget that The CONJURING Universe is an actual thing now.
11. Finally! One of the girls is screaming after a ghost pushes her wheelchair.  Surely, one of the other girls, standing about 10 feet away from her will help.  No? But she’s screaming.  Oh that’s right- they’re too busy playing hopscotch or whatever the fuck.
12. Wait- so is Annabelle evil? Or is it the young girl? Or the scarecrow? I’m confused.
13. Nice tie-in to the first film at the end.  This is the end right?
14. Wait- this movie was actually less than 2 hours? Doesn’t feel like it.
15. We. Really. Don’t. Need. Anymore. Annabelle. Films.  I get it.
16. Annabelle is still a fucking asshole.
