This year’s Best Movie/Limited Series acting races are looking more and more like a rogues’ gallery by the day. Having shot from 30th to seventh place over the past month, Dominique Fishback is giving the Lead Actress field its very own serial killer.

All of this achieved without the main force of evil, a doll, having to lift a finger. Or, blinking.
Echoing the story of “The Conjuring” in set-up, this spin-off/prequel picks a family from an early 1970s PSA on how...
