“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 (Wilson and Farmiga). 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.
Michael Chaves directed from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring 2, Aquaman).
“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” is the seventh film in the “Conjuring” Universe, the largest horror franchise in history, which has grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide. It includes the first two “Conjuring” films, as well as “Annabelle” and “Annabelle: Creation,” “The Nun,” and “Annabelle Comes Home.”
For Wilson and Farmiga, it’s been nearly 10 years of them playing these roles and yet they don’t know everything there is to know about the Warrens. Each case the Warrens investigated was always different from the last one. In speaking with Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales, both Wilson and Farmiga talk about playing these roles and what they remember from the 80s.
