Like last year's subpar «The Conjuring» spinoff «Annabelle,» this direly routine ghost story marks a huge comedown in production values and performance quality from the series» previous entries (which earned a combined $ 258 million worldwide), despite the presence of longtime Wan collaborator Leigh Whannell behind the camera and always game - faced
elder scream queen Lin Shaye in front of it.
A gross - out sequence involving the
Queen's nauseating beauty regimen will have kids
screaming with squeamish laughter and may or may not amuse their
elders.
