First Trailer (2025) | Warner Bros
“Annabelle 4: Silent Fear” is the highly anticipated next chapter in the Conjuring Universe, slated for release in 2025. Directed by a new but talented filmmaker in the horror genre, the film promises to push the boundaries of fear, returning to the chilling tale of the possessed doll, Annabelle.
The story picks up several years after the events of Annabelle Comes Home. This time, the Warrens’ cursed collection of haunted artifacts is moved to a more secure location under strict supervision. However, Annabelle, the infamous doll known for causing supernatural havoc, once again finds a way to escape her containment. Unbeknownst to her keepers, Annabelle taps into a new kind of terror—silence itself.
The plot revolves around a family living in a small, remote town that has been experiencing strange occurrences ever since the doll mysteriously arrived. The Andrews family, still grieving the sudden death of their eldest son, feels that their home is haunted by more than just memories. With the arrival of Annabelle, their grief turns into pure terror as strange events begin unfolding. The youngest daughter, Emily, becomes the main focus of Annabelle’s sinister intentions.
In a departure from previous films, the evil force that Annabelle unleashes comes in the form of a powerful demon who thrives in absolute silence, causing anyone who makes the slightest noise to become its victim. The Andrews family must quickly learn to live in a world of complete silence to survive the demon’s wrath. The tension in the film builds around their struggle to communicate without sound, especially as their home becomes a prison filled with eerie whispers, moving shadows, and Annabelle’s ever-watchful eyes.
As the family seeks help from the local priest and an expert in the occult, they discover that the only way to rid themselves of Annabelle’s curse is to confront the source of their pain—both supernatural and personal. Themes of grief, guilt, and the bonds of family are explored, while the horror and suspense keep viewers on edge.
Annabelle 4: Silent Fear delivers a blend of psychological terror and supernatural dread, making it a must-see for fans of the Conjuring franchise.
