Cinematography by Michael Burgess adds to the film's eerie atmosphere, immersing viewers in its chilling narrative.

The film is set in 1971 and follows the events after the Warrens, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine, acquire the malevolent doll, Annabelle, and lock it away in a glass case in their occult museum. Before leaving on a trip, they entrust their daughter, Judy, to the care of their babysitter, Mary Ellen. Mary Ellen invites her friend Daniela, who is curious about the Warrens' work, to the house. While exploring the artifacts in the occult museum, Daniela inadvertently unlocks Annabelle's case, releasing the doll and unleashing a wave of supernatural terror.

 As the night progresses, the house is plagued by paranormal occurrences. Annabelle manipulates other haunted artifacts in the museum, bringing them to life and terrorizing Mary Ellen, Daniela, and Judy. The girls are forced to confront their deepest fears as they struggle to survive the night.  Among the artifacts awakened by Annabelle is the Ferryman, a demonic spirit that preys on the souls of the living. The girls must find a way to banish the Ferryman and reseal Annabelle's case before it's too late.

 

With the help of Judy's knowledge of the occult and Mary Ellen's resourcefulness, they attempt to contain the evil spirits and protect themselves from harm. They also seek assistance from Bob, Mary Ellen's crush and a friend of Judy's family, who becomes embroiled in the supernatural chaos. As the night reaches its climax, Ed and Lorraine return home to find the house in chaos. Together with Mary Ellen, Daniela, and Judy, they confront the malevolent spirits and perform a ritual to banish them back to the other side. In a final showdown, Daniela sacrifices herself to save Judy from the Ferryman, allowing the others to complete the ritual and seal Annabelle's case once again. The evil spirits are banished, and the house returns to normalcy.

 The film ends with the Warrens reassuring Judy that they will always protect her and continue their work to combat evil in the world. Despite the night's horrors, Judy and her friends emerge stronger and more resilient, ready to face whatever challenges may come their way.
