Annabelle Comes Home arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Annabelle Comes Home takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artifacts room in their home, placing her “safely” behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest’s holy blessing. But an unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target—the Warrens' ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends. Mckenna Grace and Madison Iseman lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019. The performances in Annabelle Comes Home do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Annabelle Comes Home is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Mckenna Grace's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
