Quick Take: Raya and the Last Dragon is best movie Disney Animations has produced since Zootopia, and it has modern flair that makes it feel more relevant than many of its peers. With a beautifully crafted world and story combined with endearing characters, it is a movie that children and adults can both enjoy.

Quick Take: Annabelle Comes Home may not be as tightly composed as Annabelle: Creation, but it does have as many scares while also setting up more threats for future Conjuring installments. It is big, dramatic, and dark if a little cliched.

Quick Take: The Curse of La Llorona does not add anything to The Conjuring Universe beyond a frightening monster. It follows a conventional arc with a couple interesting scares and far too much bland jumps.

Quick Take: The Little Things disappoints through its waste of a solid premise and talented cast. The leads lack chemistry, and the direction lacks emotion, leading to a lifeless drama that feels twice as long as it actually is.

Quick Take: Annabelle: Creation takes the best elements of the Conjuring Universe and sends them back in time with a contained period piece. It is terrifying, dread-inducing, and ultimately one of the scariest mainstream horror films in recent memory.
