Although The Conjuring (watch it HERE) was based on a true story, the location used as the house in the film was very different from the actual house the events allegedly took place in. The upcoming supernatural documentary The Sleepless Unrest was shot at the real Conjuring house – which is why some marketing material like the poster featured below adds the subtitle "The Real Conjuring Home". Gravitas Ventures is planning to give The Sleepless Unrest a VOD release on July 16th, and the trailer for the documentary can be seen above.
Directed by Kendall Whelpton and Vera Whelpton, the film has the following synopsis:
The haunted house that inspired the Conjuring films has recently been sold and is now open to paranormal investigations. A small group of close friends is invited to move in and document a real haunted house for two weeks. Filmmakers Vera & Kendall Whelpton, along with their paranormal investigator friends Richel Stratton and Brian Murray immerse themselves deep into the experience. With hopes of capturing real paranormal evidence day and night, the team will investigate and document the house best known for a seance gone wrong, with a possible demonic possession. Do spirits still haunt this home or is it something more sinister?
Or, if you'd prefer a shorter synopsis, here's one so you don't have to tl;dr:
A small team of filmmakers and paranormal investigators move into the house that inspired the Conjuring films to document paranormal activity for two weeks. Is the real-life Conjuring home still haunted?
Kendall Whelpton previously co-directed (with Steve Gonsalves) the haunted house documentary The House In Between, and served as director of photography on 72 episodes of Ghost Hunters. Fans of ghost hunting shows may remember Vera Whelpton from her appearance on five episodes of Ghost Hunters Academy back in 2010.
