“It is the darkest Conjuring movie yet,” director Michael Chaves proclaims when we sit down to talk to him about the latest movie in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. “I know that might sound like hyperbole, but I just showed the finished film to Vera [Farmiga, who plays Lorraine Warren] and her husband, and she agreed!” There’s little doubt that this may well be the darkest Conjuring movie, as this installment is based on one of America’s most infamous murder cases, that of young Arne Johnson. It is the first known court case in the United States in which the defense sought to prove innocence based upon the defendant’s claim of demonic possession and denial of personal responsibility for the crime. A case in which the Warren’s testified for the defendant.
