<p>The Conjuring universe was still in its infancy when Annabelle arrived in 2014. Based on the creepy doll introduced in James Wan&#39;s blockbuster a year earlier, Warner Bros. quickly spun the character into her own franchise. Critics weren&#39;t impressed, but audiences showed up in droves, turning the film into one of the most profitable horror movies ever made and proving The Conjuring was more than a one-hit wonder. Was it simply riding the coattails of its predecessor, or is there more to Annabelle than its reputation suggests?
