Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a chilling portrayal of the events leading up to the haunting of the Annabelle doll, which begins with two young women and a man sharing their eerie experiences with Ed and Lorraine Warren. Fast forward to 1970, we meet John and Mia Gordon, portrayed by Ward Horton and Annabelle Wallis, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child. At a church gathering, the couple discusses potential baby names with their neighbors, the Higgins’ (played by Brian Howe and Kerry O’Malley), although John is clearly anxious and unprepared for parenthood. This creates tension with Mia, who is disappointed by his lack of enthusiasm.
