The term "modern classic" is thrown around all too often these days, and 2014's Annabelle is no exception. Directed by John Leonetti, Annabelle is a prequel (who doesn't love those, right?) to 2013's The Conjuring. Both films are based on the sordid lies of the Warren family, and so you can disregard everything about this being a true story. Honestly, look at the doll in this and then google "the real Annabelle doll" if you want to see just how far creative license has been stretched here. For a better time, watch Child's Play. Its the same story, its just done right...
