Hollywood has overused the phrase, 'based on a true story' when promoting a new film. So when another flick makes the claim, you tend to ignore it, but the featurette for THE CONJURING makes this horror tale all the more frightening when you are introduced to the Perron family who literally went to hell and back in actual events portrayed in the film. Watch if you dare.
Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor play the Perron parents of five girls who moved to a farmhouse possessed by several spirits in the early 1970s. When their family is haunted and attacked, they call on real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel), to intervene. The Perron family relive those moments in this featurette from THE CONJURING, out in theaters July 19.Usually you can talk yourself out of being scared by reminding yourself that the movie isn't real, but in this case, you can't use that excuse to sleep at night. Watch at your own risk.
