The Conjuring: exclusive poster

The Conjuring is the latest spooker from Saw and Insidious director James Wan, and we’ve got an exclusive look at the new poster for you.

Based on a real-life paranormal investigators, the Warrens (played here by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) are called to a Rhode Island farm to investigate some seriously sinister goings-on. The Ferron family are being tormented by a supernatural presence, which is where Ed and Lorraine Warren become involved.

The period trappings (the Warrens were active during the ‘70s and ‘80s) and the based-on-real-events angle make this a juicy prospect, and as the teaser trailer had its fair share of underpant-troubling moments, the film should be worth keeping an eye out for.

Here's hoping that the film has the poster's ominous vibe and subtle chill factor.
