Miranda Otto has never played Annabelle’s owner, creator, or victim. Yet her filmography is haunted by women on the edge of supernatural maternity. In The Conjuring 2 (2016), she appears briefly as Nancy, a minor role; but her more resonant performance as Éowyn—the “shieldmaiden” who loses her cousin, brother figure, and hope of motherhood—offers a key to decoding Annabelle: Creation ’s most disturbing subtext: the doll as a calcified stillbirth.
