This third Conjuring flick (and the eighth film in the ‘Conjuring Universe’) draws on another case from the files of late self-styled ‘demonologist’/clairvoyant duo Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga).
It’s based on the 1981 trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson for killing his landlord – the first case in American legal history in which defence lawyers set out to prove that their client was possessed by a demon and therefore not responsible for his actions. (Spoiler alert: in real life, the ruse didn’t work and Johnson was convicted of first-degree manslaughter.) Expect much waving of crucifixes and spooky FX.
