  Rotten Tomatoes is one of the biggest movie ratings sites out there and people tend to put a lot of trust into them. So when a movie gets a 100% rating it's pretty big news.
  
  
  
  Upcoming horror flick Annabelle: Creation recently received a 100% rating out of 4500 reviews and people are going batshit. Like seriously, this never happens. Peter Deburge from Variety wasn't overly keen though, saying:
  
  

  Quote:This effective yet empty-headed horror movie goes to show how eager audiences are to be scared, and how even an unsightly doll can do the trick when the spirit is willing.
  Clearly aware that he’s been stuck with a lazy script (from “Annabelle” writer Gary Dauberman), yet eager to capitalize on the momentum of “Lights Out,” gifted Swedish director David Sandberg appears to be using this project as practice, trying nearly every trick in the book, while never repeating the same stunt twice.
  That means it’s virtually impossible to figure out “the rules” that govern Annabelle’s behaviour. Better just to embrace the fact we’ve come to be startled and let Sandberg do his thing.
  He once again manipulates lighting, composition and suspense, framing shots in such a way that we’re constantly searching the shadows for hints of movement, while drawing out scenes for maximum tension.
  He loves to make out-of-focus shapes budge in the background, and instructs his actors either to whisper or otherwise speak their dialogue so softly that we lean in to catch their words, making ourselves that much more vulnerable to whatever might jump out of the frame (at some moments, the score falls entirely silent, while at others, it supplies precisely the jolt needed to make audiences jump).

  
  Fuck you Peter, I love a good horror. I'll certainly be giving this a watch! Here's the trailer:
  
  
  
  The movie is out in cinemas 11th August 2017.

  100% rating..hmm, colour me sceptical (uspect even the greatest horror films of all time hav'nt reached that kind of accolade). Guessing either the rating system is flawed or being manipulated by fake reviews. Intrigiung though that the 'Lights Out' director is doing this, after all, 'Lights Out' was , for the most part, a really solid horror. Not gonna rush to the cinema to see this but certainly on my 'to watch at home' list.

  Yeah I'm not feeling like it's going to be worth 100% either to be fair. I love a decent horror though so will definitely give it the benefit of the doubt but I'm not expecting fireworks

  Its great to hear that you are such a fan of horror films, Reedefox..i love a great horror as well. Steering away from the Annabelle Creation trailer, out of interest, do you have a favourite horror film, Reedefox? Come to think of it, what about everyone else on here. Is there juust that one horror film that you would truly consider to be your firm favourite?

  u never know this could be the best horror we ever seen, i been waiting to watch a horror movie that gives me nightmares but non do it for me, but the scariest was either 28 weeks later, conjuring 2, the descent 1 and 2, get out, all should go and watch these

  Its kin da ironic that i posted the question and im having trouble choosing my all time fave (based purely on those i have seen to date). Some excellent choices there, Dony. All definatly required viewing for horror fans. At the moment im leaning towards either Zombie Flesh Eaters or The Beyond. That said i absolutely love Peter Jacksons first feature film 'Bad Taste' as well. Will hopefully have decided by the time i next post.

  Got aroound to checking out 'Anabelle : Creation' a few days ago. Approached the film expecting it to be pretty poor..imagine my suprise when it actually turned out to be pretty good. Trouble is cant recall tremendous amounts about the original but, as prequels/origin stories go, asides from the actual origin feeling wafer thin (summed up very quickly and bluntly), this was actually a pretty entertaining ride. A decent amount of scares, did a nice job of creating an atmosphere with solid enough performances from the whiole cast. Will it go down as a classic..not likely but still definatly worth a pop.
