The first trailer for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is now online, giving us a preview of what promises to be The Warrens most terrifying case yet.
This time, Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) find themselves looking into what led to Arne Johnson (Ruairi O'Connor) murdering his landlord in cold blood, and claiming demonic possession as his defense.
As you might expect, their investigations uncovers all sorts of creepy goings on, and the source seems to be a mysterious figure known only as The Occultist (Eugenie Bondurant).
Check out the trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think.
“In a lot of ways, this is the biggest Conjuring movie,” Chaves told IGN in a recent interview. “I showed the final cut to [star] Vera [Farmiga] and her husband and they agreed, and they were like, ‘This is the darkest Conjuring movie.’ It digs into some really dark material. This is definitely a case where there's real consequence, there's real victims."
If you count both Annabelle movies, The Nun and The Curse of La Llorona (which Chaves also helmed), The Devil Made Me Do It is actually the seventh installment in the series, but the filmmaker promises that this will be unlike anything that's come before.
“This is really taking the Warrens into uncharted places,” says Chaves. “Being a fan of the franchise, I was honestly really nervous at first breaking with convention, breaking with a lot of things that are tradition, but I think that what we've done is really woven the language and the things that you do want from a Conjuring film - the scares, the Warrens, their relationship - [and [pushed them] to the limits in this really fresh and exciting new direction.”
The Conjuring 3 is set to hit theaters and HBO Max on June 4.
