10 2016 Movies That Are Destined To Disappoint You
6. The Conjuring 2
The Buzz: After 2013's original movie made an astonishing $318 million on a $20 million budget, the buzz for a follow-up is understandable. Director James Wan is back alongside Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who of course played paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren so memorably the first time around. With a setting shift to Enfield, England while retaining the core cast and crew who made the original film so entertaining, can The Conjuring 2 be the rare horror sequel that lives up to the original? Why It's Going To Disappoint: Firstly, yes, how many horror sequels ever live up to the original? Though little has been shown off from the movie so far, the first trailer pretty much implies run-of-the-mill thrills and nothing more, so while it's destined to be a hit no matter what with the notoriously undemanding horror crowd, don't expect something as tight as what came before.
