The movie sees The Conjuring director and horror movie maestro James Wan pass the baton to The Curse of La Llorona filmmaker Michael Chaves.
Directed by Michael Chaves with a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, and from a story by Johnson-McGoldrick and James Wan, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is scheduled to hit theaters and HBO Max on June 4, 2021 and promises to be the “darkest” and “biggest” Conjuring movie yet.
While one of the images gives off a very Exorcist vibe, director Michael Chaves has now described the project as being much more like David Fincher’s serial killer classic, Se7en.
Breaking tradition is not something that Chaves approached lightly but is very happy with the results of this new direction.
