Janice’s limited walking ability actually serves as a good tool in a lot of scenes. Janice and Linda will do the majority of the stupid things that will undoubtedly have you and everyone else in the theater yelling at the screen. It’s through these two that we get our view of the dark secrets held in the house. She shares a very close bond with Linda ( Lulu Wilson) who comes across as a bit empty headed but completely devoted to Janice.

The story mostly follows Janice ( Talitha Bateman), a girl who suffered from polio and so walks with a brace. We don’t know anything about any of the six girls except for two. LaPaglia does a good job of seeming withdrawn enough so that you’re never quite sure if he’s part of the evil or just an innocent. Mullins to generate a lot of suspicion in the first half of the story. The most detail we get about Annabelle is the brief glimpse of the Mullins’ life when she was alive. Even so we don’t really get much characterization about them or anyone else really. The young girls are really the main victims…er characters of the story. Of course once you mix a group of young girls curious about their new surroundings and an evil doll locked away never to be found, the doll doesn’t stay hidden for long and these girls learn that true evil actually exists (and that it’s always best to mind your business and leave locked doors alone).

The seemingly kind and generous couple decide to open their large home to a nun ( Stephanie Sigman) and her group of six girls to use as their new orphanage. He and his wife ( Miranda Otto) still live in what seems to be a mostly empty house without Annabelle. Her father ( Anthony LaPaglia) is a popular and highly skilled dollmaker. Even though that makes it sound like it’s going to be an awful cash grab of a movie, you may find yourself surprised at how good it actually is.Īnnabelle 2 takes place 12 years after the tragic death of a little girl, named of course Annabelle. Annabelle:Creation is the prequel to Annabelle (2014), which was the prequel to The Conjuring (2013). So Annabelle 2 is really the prequel to the prequel.
