Annabelle thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

Hot Take: Annabelle's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Honestly, Annabelle would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Annabelle actually is?

Director clearly thought Annabelle was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Annabelle?

Look, I wanted to love Annabelle. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
