New at AMC Showplace 10 Theaters in Mattoon this weekend:
- “The Conjuring 2“ (R)
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. In the first movie they went to a haunted farmhouse in Rhode Island. In this one they go to London to help a mom whose kids are threatened by a poltergeist.
As some of you know, the Warrens were real investigators who went to the house from the “Amityville Horror” in 1976 and backed up the Lutz family’s claim that the house was haunted. The events from this movie take place a year after they went to Amityville.
