Watch the trailer Annabelle: Creation 15 And you thought Child’s Play’s Chucky was scary... DIRECTOR David F. Sandberg STARRING Talitha Bateman, Miranda Otto, Lulu Wilson Love being scared? Then buy a ticket for 11 AUG Annabelle: Creation immediately. This fourth chapter in the terrifying The Conjuring series is helmed by David F. Sandberg – the Swedish director behind the bone-chilling Lights Out – and it’s so creepy, you might never sleep again! A prequel to 2014’s chilling Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation sees a grieving dollmaker and his wife welcoming a nun and several youngsters into their dilapidated home (following the unfortunate closure of their orphanage). At first the children are thrilled with their new accommodation, which is as big as a castle, but then things start going bump in the night… and it’s all to do with a doll by the name of Annabelle, who just happens to be evil incarnate. From popcorn-flinging jump scares to skin-crawling instrumental music, Sandberg certainly knows his horror tropes and he uses them to alarming effect here. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you! 22 odeon.co.uk Logan Lucky TBC Witty, thrilling and clever, Steven Soderbergh proves he hasn’t lost his Midas touch with this cracking comedy... DIRECTOR Steven Soderbergh starring CHANNING TATUM, ADAM DRIVER, DANIEL CRAIG Steven Soderbergh’s first big-screener in four years is an impeccable action comedy, with an all-star cast that includes Channing Tatum, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes and Daniel Craig, and a delightfully witty script that’s as clever as it is funny. 25 AUG Tatum is Jimmy Logan, a 30-something layabout who, together with his brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and sister Mellie (Riley Keough), attempts to pull off an audacious robbery in order to reverse a family curse. Helping them out is Craig’s Joe Bang, a platinum-haired convict who’s a few sandwiches short of a picnic but still the best robber around. Are you feeling lucky?
