While the film relies too much on your typical "jump scare" tactics, it's still much better than the first Annabelle and a worthy addition to the every-expanding Conjuring franchise. The (mostly) young, female cast does an admirable job, with Lulu Wilson and Talitha Eliana Bateman doing most of the heavy lifting. Miranda Otto needed more screen time in my opinion, but that doll is still creepy as hell and the story, while still all over the place, at least leaves a better impression than the original film.
