12 Acclaimed Recent Movies Everyone Will Eventually Hate

3. Annabelle: Creation

The Acclaim: Universally considered a substantial improvement over the original Annabelle, this prequel benefits from David F. Sandberg's more patient direction and a talented cast.

Why Everyone Will Hate It: A lot of fans cut Annabelle: Creation a ton of slack upon release simply because it was so much better than the previous film, but taken on its own terms, and compared to the two Conjuring movies, it really doesn't pass muster at all.

Riddled with jump scares and wasting most of its adult cast members, it's a functional horror movie albeit one that people are probably going to turn against soon enough, because removed from its context as a follow-up to a very bad movie, there's little original or truly scary in it.
