Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
The family man farmer John Rollins is stressed with his financial situation: the crows and the lack of irrigation are destroying his crop of corn; the bank is near closure of his mortgage; he does not have credit to fix the water pump or to buy seeds; and his marriage is in crisis and his wife Mary is giving too much attention to her friend Tommy. When John accidentally discovers a hidden compartment in the barn, he finds a creepy scarecrow but his son Michael makes him promise to destroy it. However, his neighbor Jude Weatherby visits him, gives a six-pack of beer to the abstemious John and convinces him to put the scarecrow in the cornfield. Out of the blue, the life of John changes: the crows die; the pump works again irrigating the land; and the banker responsible for the closure has an accident and dies. However, he feels that his land is possessed by something evil that is threatening his beloved family.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It is a prequel/spin-off of Conjuring and I found it better and scarier than that. I recommend it, but not strongly because it is familiar to those who have seen the Insidious movies, Sinister or Conjuring because they all deals with supernatural forces following families in houses, which seems to be a new sub-genre in haunted house pictures. It's especially appropriate for pregnant women or those with newborns because it deals with evil forces begging to be human again by possessing a baby.

Annabelle just doesn't scare me. Yes, the doll is creepy looking, but not enough, and it doesn't go beyond just the somewhat creepy looking doll. I don't have much to say other than this really isn't a scary movie. There are somewhat scary moments. There's one moment in particular that scared me, BUT that was about 5 seconds out of the whole film. This movie relies heavily on cheap jump scares so if that's not your thing keep that in mind.

This movie is the prequel to the conjuring. The story of the doll how did it become the famous Annabelle we all know now.It started good those scary scenes were hitting the right notes then I felt they tried to make it extremely scary but turned out to be funny. There were some scenes which made me realize that this movie is being rushed just to make up something for the viewers. This movie made the conjuring doll a joke. I felt the leading actress did a really bad job as she literally had no fear on her face. The ending was so dumb they tried to make it unpredictable but utter rubbish. If you have watched the trailer of this movie then u have watched the whole movie cause those are the scary elements you have to see in the whole movie. They did a pretty good job in making a really good trailer and forcing us into the theaters to send us back home disappointed.No I would not recommend this movie to anyone.Notable ActingNobodyMy Rating 5/10

I did watch this film several years ago but I had to re-watch it to make some pieces together after Annabelle: Creation.Actually, I like this part better, though I can not say that Creation is worse. I just think that this one was more entertaining and had some really scary scenes, unlike Creation.I also felt like some parts of this film were missing. The murder scene of their neighbors (done by their daughter) which is also used in Creation is kinda unexpected and when you think about it - kinda improbable. Especially what they were to do next. I guess there are many small details in this one and later in creation that does not really fit... but overall when you watch the films, you don't think about them.The librarian was an interesting character. I can not stop thinking of her role in Desperate Housewives.All in all, not bad. Rating: 6,6.
