While the third in the CONJURING film series plays theaters, the site of the first is getting a new screen showcase.

Gravitas Ventures releases THE SLEEPLESS UNREST, directed by Kendall and Vera Whelpton, to select theaters and VOD July 16. The synopsis: “The world-famous house that inspired the CONJURING film has recently been sold and is now open to paranormal investigations. With special access, a small group of filmmakers and paranormal investigators are allowed to move into the famously haunted home for two weeks in hopes of capturing evidence. During this time the group will be experiencing, investigating, and documenting every moment. Will they be able to make it through their stay? Do malevolent spirits still haunt this home, or is it something more sinister?”
