seriously, the only thing that could've made it scarier for me is if the demon had Captain Howdy's face from The Exorcist. This movie was just completely in your face with the scares and wasted no time getting to them. Your thoughts?

Annabelle (2014).
When i got home after seeing this I went outside and turned the outside light on. Projected on the fence was a huge shadow of a moth, and it turned out to be as big as a bottlecap.
That was more scary than this clichéd piece of crap.
4/10 I legitimately yelled "THAT WAS *beep* when the credits rolled.
Glad I didn't see this in the same theater as you.
shareI honestly do not think that I've ever been so bored throughout a theatrically, wide released horror movie in my life.
Had no great expectations for this movie and yet it still was just a total disappointment on every single level!
Yea, horror movie fans are by far the "hardest critique-ers" of their preferred genre, but this...this just sucked and was a true, worthless waste, plain and simple.
the story line and movie direction for annabelle was far from boring mate.
the director learned a lot from James Wan, and it delivered suspense when the movie needed it.
btw, did you watch deliver us from evil?

I thought it was good. Not the scariest movie ever, but it sure had it's creepy/eerie moments.
shareI didn't find this movie at all scary, but it wasn't terrible, it was just a doll that gets thrown around and gets lifted up on the ground... that's pretty silly.. the ending was pretty anti climactic as well... deflating really...

The movie was simply not scary. It was not that original either. I have watched ten or more horror movies with "evil dolls". It was also fairly predictable. I was quite certain that the demon was not after the baby's soul but that of the mother. At first I thought the black woman was evil, but after that was proved wrong and I heard her background story, I also guessed correctly that ultimately she would make the sacrifice for them.
There were few genuine scary moments in the film, and it instead relied on jump scares and ear-piercing sounds - and on the last I have to say that the movie was really LOUD. Even when I saw the jump scenes well coming well in advance, the "scary" music and sounds were so loud that I wanted to cover my ears. Viewers of the film should be warned and be equipped with earplugs!
could you tell me exactly which and how many jump scares you remember?
I remember one, and it was very well executed.
it was the one when the neighbors get slashed and you see the action POV
there was another one that made you think the books would fall over the baby, but instead the doll appears. i wouldnt have predicted that if i had not seen the trailer.
and neither of these two were forced in or lame, they were in fact creative. nothing like jump scares seen in "deliver us from evil"
Definitely not.
