“American Conjuring” (* out of four) was an American dud about a family (Lynn Csontos and Darren Matheson) who move into an abandoned orphanage which turns out (yawn) to be haunted and the husband immediately starts losing his mind. Yet another rip-off of “The Amityville Horror” and “The Shining” is poorly directed and acted and wretchedly photographed. One of these days you hope that filmmakers will tire of making the same movie and will “conjure” up some new ideas.
