After making a big impression in the opening scene of last year's horror hit The Conjuring, a pretty doll named Annabelle has scared up her own self-titled origin story. Set before The Conjuring, director John R. Leonetti's film focuses on a young woman (played by The Tudors' Annabelle Wallis—yes, that's her real name) whose life is upended after she receives the doll as a gift. Despite using animatronics on the Saw films, director James Wan didn't employ any for Annabelle: ''We wanted to not give her that much life, or rather, to let her be what she is, an inanimate object.'' Unlike Chucky in Child's Play, he says, ''she's not going to walk around with a knife in her hands.''
