Annabelle

My first review in a long, long time (in a galaxy far, far away)...

Annabelle, a spin-off from the 2013 film The Conjuring, stars Annabelle Wallis as the mother Mia and Ward Horton as her husband. The couple are expecting their first child together, they have everything prepared, the room, the dolls, and so on...
One night an incident occurs which leads to the couple left shell-shocked. After this incident the mother found strange happenings, all related to their creepy doll...
This is not the most original film you will see this year, with the inclusion of demonic dolls, possession, the 'been there, done that person', and the religious guy that acts as the counter-weight in regards to good and evil.

If you love horror films, then you would probably find this subdued, although the rest would find this a 'jumpy' watch, unfortunately this is another case where the best bits are in the trailer, reducing the element of surprise.
