Premise Doesn't Make Sense


I thought Annabelle wasn't evil until the cult member's blood seeped into her? This summary says the dollmaker who made her is being tormented by her. Also, that would make this another prequel, and not really a sequel to the original Annabelle movie.

Maybe it's gonna be like Pumpkinhead and Blood Wings.

I'm taking it as the dollmaker is the one who made Annabelle in the first place, and somehow the doll is ending up back in her possession.

I was also confused after reading it...
If it is a prequel then...the doll was evil all along and wouldn't even be called Annabelle. Didn't they call her Annabelle because of the girl that died/found possession in the doll?..Like you said.

I'm assuming it's a typo and it's a sequel where Annabelle ends up with the doll maker/a doll maker.

I know this is a post from the old IMDb message boards, but I just saw the "official trailer" for movie and I feel it still doesn't make sense. It seems the movie is a "prequel" to the first Annabelle and appears to be taking place in the 60s maybe earlier. The trailer shows a dollmaker making the doll "Annabelle" and we learn the dollmaker and his wife had a daughter named Annabelle that died. Annabelle: Creation - saying the "birth" of the creepy doll - Annabelle already explained that. So, if we are saying this movie takes place before "Annabelle" then the doll was evil all along? And just so happens to take the possession of 2 deceased Annabelle's.............?

I didn't even know a sequel was in the works. If so it doesn't make sense at all. Heck, it really undermines the opening and story plot points of the first.

If this is a prequel, then in the end we will see how this doll ends up in the toy store.

That makes more sense. A prequel of how the doll was cursed works better.
