Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, The Conjuring tells the horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

The Conjuring stars Academy Award® nominee Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, Orphan) and Patrick Wilson (Young Adult, Prometheus) as the Warrens, and Ron Livingston (HBO's Band of Brothers) and Lili Taylor (Public Enemies) as Roger and Carolyn Perron, residents of the house.

Joey King (Crazy, Stupid, Love), Shanley Caswell (Detention), Haley McFarland (TV's Lie to Me), Mackenzie Foy (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) and newcomer Kyla Deaver play the Perrons' five daughters, and Sterling Jerins (World War Z) is the Warrens' little girl, Judy.

James Wan (Saw, Insidious) directs from a screenplay by Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes (The Reaping).
