Seriously? Calling the reviews mixed is spin at best, because a 29% on RT with an average rating of 4.4/10 certainly indicates negative revies.

The copyright owners of Raggedy Ann refused to have the character be used in a horror film, so the original design was necessary.

* CriticalResearchFailure: If one does a basic online search for the ''actual'' Annabelle doll from the case, it's quite easy to discover that the real doll ''isn't'' some odd looking vintage antique: it's an adorable little Literature/RaggedyAnn doll. Perhaps it might've even made for a more shocking/creepy visual had they gone with what it actually was.
** May have been easier to create a new doll than to get the rights to Raggedy Ann.

** There's also a scene where the main character sees a demon in the storage room, runs to the elevator and presses the button for her floor. The doors close, a few seconds pass, and then the door opens again to reveal that the elevator is still on the storage room floor. This happens a few times and the way it's shot, it looks like the demon is pressing the button to keep the elevator there.
