"Despite being stuck with a lame script (...) Sandberg manages to conjure some effective scares (...) Instead of enriching this universe in any meaningful way (...) [it] serves just to push the $800 million franchise past the $1 billion mark."  NEU

"'Annabelle: Creation' is well performed, but the rhythm of the scares feels slightly off (...) While it’s better than the first 'Annabelle', it’s nowhere near as good as the main 'Conjuring' films (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"  NEU
