The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is the third installment in the popular Conjuring horror film series, directed by Michael Chaves and released in 2021. Based on real-life events, this film follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they confront one of the most chilling cases of their careers: a murder trial involving demonic possession. The film blends horror, suspense, and true crime elements, offering a captivating experience for audiences.

Plot Overview

Set in 1981, the story begins with the infamous trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson (played by Ruairi O’Connor), who is accused of murdering his landlord. During the trial, his defense claims that he was possessed by a demonic force when the crime occurred. This shocking assertion brings Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) into the case as they attempt to prove the existence of the supernatural and uncover the truth behind Arne’s possession.

The film opens with a prologue that depicts the Warrens’ investigation of a young boy, David Glatzel, who shows signs of being possessed. After performing an exorcism, Arne, who is engaged to David’s sister, offers to be a vessel for the demon to save the boy. However, this act of bravery leads to horrifying consequences as Arne becomes the target of a sinister force.

As the Warrens dig deeper into the case, they discover a dark history involving witchcraft and the occult, leading them to confront not only the demonic entity but also their own fears and vulnerabilities. The investigation becomes a race against time as they work to free Arne from the demonic grip before he faces severe consequences in court.

Themes

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It explores several significant themes:

• Good vs. Evil: The film delves into the classic struggle between good and evil, examining the nature of demonic possession and the moral implications of its existence. The Warrens represent the fight against dark forces, while Arne’s case raises questions about accountability when influenced by supernatural evil.
• Faith and Doubt: Lorraine’s strong faith is juxtaposed with Ed’s more pragmatic approach, creating tension between the two. Their unwavering belief in the supernatural contrasts with the skepticism of the legal system, highlighting the complexities of faith in the face of unexplainable phenomena.
• The Power of Love: The bond between Ed and Lorraine is central to the narrative. Their love and commitment to one another provide strength in the face of terrifying challenges, emphasizing the idea that love can be a powerful force against evil.

Character Development

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren, delivering compelling performances that anchor the film. Their characters are portrayed as deeply connected, with Lorraine often sensing the dangers lurking in the shadows. Ed, as a protective husband, balances his duties as a paranormal investigator with his desire to keep Lorraine safe.

Arne Cheyenne Johnson’s character is also well-developed, showcasing his internal struggle as he battles the possession and the consequences of his actions. The film offers insight into his relationship with David Glatzel and the lengths he is willing to go to protect his loved ones.

The film employs a mix of atmospheric tension and jump scares, a hallmark of the Conjuring series. The cinematography by Michael Burgess captures the eerie settings, from the haunted locations to the dark corners of the Warrens’ investigations. The use of sound design amplifies the tension, enhancing the chilling atmosphere that permeates the film.
