A year later, Judy Warren has been taking slack from the school kids saying that she’s weird and know all about her parent’s work. She has a birthday party coming but she thinks none of the kids will come. Her baby-sitter, Mary Ellen, decides that she wants to make her a cake to make her feel better. Mary Ellen’s friend Daniela invites herself to the baby-sitting gig because she thinks she has a better chance to speak with her late father. After some snooping, she finds the locked room in the house and finds her way in.
ANNABELLE COMES HOME is written and directed by Gary Dauberman. This is his directorial debut but he has a history of writing horror screenplays. He has written the previous two ANNABELLE films and the IT films as well. In this, the audience really gets a look at the items in the Warren’s house and explores the artifacts from old cases. Some of the objects are inspired by real cases and are somewhat frightening.

VIDEO QUALITY:
The video is a 1080p AVC presentation that, mostly, has sort of a soft look in places. It might be a conscious move to make the film have more of a vintage look because it was shot digitally. The colors are bright and are reflective of the time period. Practically everything in the house is designed or colored properly. The details are strong in the faces, textures of the clothing, and in the creatures. There are places in the dark that have deep blacks and a little bit of noise when mist/fog is involved.
AUDIO QUALITY:
The audio is a Dolby Atmos mix that defaults to a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 mix depending on the equipment. What it does is create an incredibly creepy environment that makes the inside of this house feel unnatural. The overhead speakers help with this by having the spirits surround each victim. The “evil” comes to life with the LFEs as of the tone is the beginning of something terrible. One other heavy moment is with the ringing bells that seem reverberate In every channel to give the effect that the Warren’s collection is extensive. Music sounds great and not overly processed to also keep that vintage sound. The dialogue is prioritized well.
