The Conjuring is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes. It serves as the inaugural film in the Conjuring Universe franchise. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga star as Ed and Lorraine Warren, renowned paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of haunting. Their real-life reports inspired The Amityville Horror story and film franchise. In The Conjuring, the Warrens assist the Perron family, who experience increasingly disturbing events in their Rhode Island farmhouse in 1971.

The film centers on the alleged real-life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a married couple known for investigating paranormal events. In his second collaboration with Wan, Patrick Wilson starred alongside Vera Farmiga in the main roles of Ed and Lorraine. Production commenced in Wilmington, North Carolina, in February 2012, and scenes were shot in chronological order to maintain the story’s flow and atmosphere.
