![Conjuring, The: The Devil Made Me Do It (BD) [Blu-ray]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71J-jMHGmAL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Obviously, or maybe not so obviously, the best advertisement for this film is the film THE CONJURING. Where THE CONJURING plays with facts a little bit, ANNABELLE is a fictitious story. This is not to lessen the impact of the film in any way. I saw the film in the theatre and it was fun, as in "scary fun" which is a slogan used or overused by a cable channel. The basic premise is a variant on the haunted house story, except that the vehicle for the supernatural events is the well-known Annabelle doll. The script writers seem to have taken on the material that Ed and Lorraine Warren talked about in their books. I chose to watch this in the evening and with perfectly spooky timing something fell in another room and my Cat looked up in alarm, and like one of those "what not to do in a horror story" examples, I went and checked. The second time it happened, I left well enough alone. After all if it's just a "coincidence" that's fine, but if the rules of horror stories are anything to go by, you don't have to go and look
for trouble. The special features in the Blu-ray version are totally marvelous; the one aspect I think fans of supernatural horror are going to love is the anecdotes that talk about eerie events on set.
Deleted scenes made me think that a directors cut could've been made, since there was some material that led in a different direction. Whilst the
film as it is works extremely well, it is evident that with James Wan as producer, the style of film we're going to get is pretty much already set: in the making of feature Wan talks about what you don't see, things out of view, things in the corner of your view, the sort of things that he delivered so perfectly in THE CONJURING and in INSIDIOUS, so when you are on a good thing, why shift to another style. I would've liked to have seen a director and producer commentary for the film but I guess you can't have everything. Maybe James Wan will do a detailed commentary for INSIDIOUS THREE. The style of the fil is already set, which is not bad, just that if you see the deleted scenes, you can see where the director may have taken it if given free reign. Its not bad that the edit was changed to a James Wan style, but it really is something that shows more of James Wan as director, rather than the name on the film who was hired as director. In that respect, I would have liked to have seen what the director might have done if left to his own devices. Nonetheless, if you havwe the suspension of disbelief, this film works well, and I enjoyed it immensely, and the behind the scenes spooky events is actually quite fun. A very professional result, I just wish that James Wan had not said that he is leaving Horror as a director, since this is very much a James Wan film.

Not as good as it was hyped up to be !!!!!!
Not as good as it was hyped up to be. I'm a HUGE Horror Movie fan & I still thought this movie was crap. Im in love with all The Child's Play movies, Dolly Dearest, Dolls, Puppet Master +++ ECT..I also LOVED The Conjuring, But this............. I WAS SOOOOO DISAPOINTING. I soooo annoyed everytime they did a close up of the doll (like 15 times) NOTHING EVERRRRRRR HAPPEND, It watched it a 2nd time, & it still Sucked.. VERY BORING..BEWERE THAT THE PREVIEW HYPED IT UP WAYYYYYYY TO MUCH. 3 Stars is being nice- ITS HONESTLY a 2 Star Movie. SEE FOR YOUR SELF :-)

En esta muñeca de la película,se esconde algo más detrás de su mirada alarmante.......vé la película.
Como apunte matizar que Ed y Lorraine Warren mantenian la muñeca en una vitrina con una advertencia.
Un párroco iba a bendecirla 2 veces al mes.
Personalmente Yo adquirí esta muñeca original de la película aquí en "Amazón" y está hecha con todo detalle,excelente.
También tengo la de los Warren.
Para mí gran película y más si eres amante del género de terror de muñec@s.
