After we watched <Dracula Untold>, we started to queue at front of the counter where we can redeem our free movie tickets for <Annabelle> screening for tonight at 08:00 p.m.. Before I reached MBO Citta Mall this evening, I brought some doll because in order to redeem the free movie screening passes for <Annabelle> we need to show our MBO ALLSTAR Card and a doll. Around 07:15 p.m., the person in-charge from MBO Cinemas came and give out the movie screening passes. Since we are queue in the front, and we got twin seats to enjoy the movie. After that, we took our dinner and enter the cinema hall on 09:00 p.m. to enjoy our movie.

Movie Review
Since <Annabelle> is the prequel and spin-off of <The Conjuring>, it's not necessary for you to watch <The Conjuring> before <Annabelle>. The movie is started with same opening for <The Conjuring> where the two young women and a young man tell Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren about their experiences with a doll called Annabelle. And the story started with a young couple, Mia and John and their newborn baby, when John unknowingly brings the doll back to their home. After the murder happened in their home one night, Annabelle Higgins leaves a bloody symbol and drop one of her blood into the eye of the doll. And then the mysterious happened and the demon is looking for the new born baby, Lea's soul. It's really touching that her mother is try to do her best to avoid the demon to take her soul. Mia goes to a bookstore run by a woman named Evelyn and determines from a book that the presence haunting her wants Lea's soul. The couple contacts their church's priest, Father Perez, who takes the doll with him to church. The ghost of Annabelle attacks him with a demonic-looking creature, and the doll disappears. Evelyn tells Mia that she had a daughter named Ruby that was around Mia's age when she died in a car accident caused by Evelyn. She was so distraught and guilt-ridden that she attempted suicide. However, she claims to have heard Ruby's voice telling her it wasn't her time. Perez warns John that it was indeed Annabelle's spirit that caused his injuries, and that she will take a soul that night. John rushes to warn Mia. In the apartment, the demonic presence pushes Evelyn out of the apartment and taunts Mia. Mia attempts to kill Annabelle and the demon then asks for Mia's soul instead. John and Evelyn break open the door to find Mia ready to jump out the window with Annabelle in her hands. John saves Mia; Evelyn grabs Annabelle and decides to make the sacrifice, knowing this is the way she can atone for Ruby's death. She jumps out of the window and dies. Lea is then found safe and sound in her crib. It's really sad when Evelyn sacrifice herself for Mia and Lea. Six months later, the Forms have moved on and have not seen Annabelle since then. Elsewhere, the mother of one of the girls in the opening scene purchases Annabelle as a gift for her child. The ending text states that the real Annabelle doll resides in a case in Ed and Lorraine Warren's museum and that it is blessed by a priest twice a month to keep the public safe from the evil that still resides in the doll.
