If you've seen The Conjuring you may remember paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, had the doll in their possession and warned everyone to stay away from it. Annabelle will focus on the creepy doll and explain the background of the paranormal object.

Annabelle Wallis (X-Men: First Class) and Ward Horton (The Wolf of Wall Street) play a married couple with a baby who inadvertently acquire a possessed doll named Annabelle. Soon after the husband comes home with the doll to put in their new-born baby's room, the couple are awoken by noises from across the street. The husband goes to investigate whilst his wife is accosted by two knife wielding strangers who are intent on taking Annabelle. Although little can be glimpsed into details of the plot from the trailer, it's evident we will discover Annabelle's origins and why the two strangers are so intent on getting her back.

Wallis and Horton are supported by Eric Ladin (Boardwalk Empire), Tony Amendola (Once Upon A Time), Brian Howe (Hart of Dixie), Alfre Woodard (12 Years A Slave) and Michelle Romano (Milwood). Annabelle is set to be released in October in both the US and UK - just in time for Halloween!
