Annebelle: Creation is directed by David F. Sandberg

Director David F. Sandberg’s film Annabelle: Creation will be releasing in India on August 18. Warner Bros Pictures will be releasing the film pan India in four languages — English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, a statement said. Annabelle: Creation is the fourth film in “The Conjuring” film series and is the follow up and prequel of the 2014 spinoff film Annabelle .

Talking about his expectation from the audiences with the prequel, Sandberg said, “The best part of being in a theatre with an audience watching the film is the series of three emotions they express: anticipation, when they’re whispering, ‘Is this thing coming?’ or ‘No, don’t go in that room!’; when they get scared and jump and scream; and, finally, when they laugh with relief at each other for jumping and screaming. Then that’s what I am hoping for.”

The film stars Stephanie Sigman, Talitha Bateman, Lulu Wilson and Philippa Coulthard, amongst others. The first Conjuring film introduced a doll which was possessed by a demon. Annabelle recounted the events before Annabelle appeared in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s possession, who are the primary protagonists of the Conjuring film series.
