Annabelle Comes Home Movie Review: Script Analysis

Gary Dauberman has been penning the stories for Annabelle series & few horror movies like It & The Nun, this is the first feature he’s directing. He gets few chills right but many of the wrong. The whole idea of Hollywood’s horror film is losing its charm since the last few years. The only movie that got genuine screams from me was 2017’s It. The creaky doors in a haunted house with supernatural entities doing their job, expecting us to get scared – can we please have something new?

Too many coincidences spoil the thrills that are built by some daunting setup of the scenes. A very relatable connect with ‘Sherlock Holmes’ we see a typewriter continuously typing ‘Miss Me?’  by itself. Gary, along with script also formats the screenplay which sets the mood correct for the film.
