“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” reveals a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even experienced real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.  One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for the soul of a young boy, then takes them beyond anything they’d ever seen before, to mark the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defense.

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return to star as Ed and Lorraine Warren, under the direction of Michael Chaves.  The film also stars Ruairi O’Connor, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Julian Hilliard.

This time around, however, series creator and director James Wan steps into the role of producer with Peter Safran and hands directing duties over to Michael Chaves (“The Curse of La Llorona”). Chaves will direct from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (“The Conjuring 2,” “Aquaman”), from a story by James Wan & David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick.  Serving as executive producers were Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Victoria Palmeri, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Michelle Morrissey.

The behind-the-scenes creative team reunited “Conjuring” Universe contributors including director of photography Michael Burgess, production designer Jennifer Spence, costume designer Leah Butler and composer Joseph Bishara, along with the director’s editor from “The Curse of La Llorona,” Peter Gvozdas.

The film opens in theatres nationwide on September 11, 2020.
