Warner Bros. have shared the official first trailer for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – and it promises to be another terrifying and gripping instalment in the horror franchise.

Based on a real-life trial, the movie sees the return of Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, respectively) as they investigate what is known now as the first-ever U.S. legal case where 'demonic possession' was claimed as a defence.

"In a lot of ways, this is the biggest Conjuring movie," director Michael Chaves explains to IGN. "I showed the final cut to Vera and her husband and they agreed, and they were like, 'This is the darkest Conjuring movie.' It digs into some really dark material. This is definitely a case where there's real consequence, there's real victims."

The filmmaker adds: "This is really taking the Warrens into uncharted places. Being a fan of the franchise, I was honestly really nervous at first breaking with convention, breaking with a lot of things that are tradition, but I think that what we've done is really woven the language and the things that you do want from a Conjuring film – the scares, the Warrens, their relationship – and [pushed them] to the limits in this really fresh and exciting new direction."

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It will hit UK cinemas on May 28. Watch the trailer below:
