The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is inspired by a real-life case, and a new featurette looks at the true story behind the movie. You can see the video below, which looks at the case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson who went on trial for stabbing his landlord to death. Johnson claimed during the trial that he was possessed by demonic forces at the time of the murder. Ed and Lorraine Warren were used as experts in the case on the defense’s behalf.

The film opens in theaters and on HBO Max on June 4th and stars Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ruairi O’Connor, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Julian Hilliard. It is described as follows:

The Devil Made Me Do It reveals a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even experienced real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for the soul of a young boy, then takes them beyond anything they’d ever seen before, to mark the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defense.
