Cinemagoers who had taken their children to watch Detective Pikachu were left in shock after new horror film The Curse of Lo Llorona was shown instead.
The Curse of Lo Llorona, which follows a ghost who torments a social worker played by Linda Cardellini, opens with a scene depicting a mother drowning her child.
It turns out those hoping to see The Curse of La Llorona had sat through trailers including The Secret Life of Pets 2. This isn’t the first time a cinema has shown horror films instead of a family film.
After complaints from parents, the cinema turned the film off and moved them to another screen where Detective Pikachu was being shown.
