Horror Vault's take

Decades before Annabelle's terror became known to the world, a grieving dollmaker and his wife open their farmhouse to a group of orphaned girls, unknowingly exposing them to a malevolent force that has been quietly waiting within a porcelain creation. Director David F. Sandberg builds suffocating dread through shadow, silence, and expertly crafted set-pieces that make the isolated farmhouse feel like a trap slowly closing. Young actresses Talitha Eliana Bateman and Lulu Wilson anchor the film with performances that keep the human stakes grounded amid escalating supernatural terror. It stands as one of the stronger entries in the Conjuring Universe, delivering origin-story payoffs alongside genuine scares.
