The house has left the documentary "really ruined" after the visit

The film "The Conjuring" was inspired not only by a real paranormal investigator, but also by a real house. The house seemed to terrify the documentarists who entered with a large number of cameras during the two-week shoot for a documentary film called The Sleepless Unrest.

The trailer below will give you some idea of what to expect, but Cody Beck of our sister site CinemaBlend was able to speak with directors Kendall Welpton and Vera Welpton at the premiere. One of them (Beck would not specify which one) said that "being in the house for two weeks messed up the spirit of the whole team."

And it didn't take long for the team to be affected. As they put it, "By the third day we started to wear out, and by the fourth day we couldn't sleep because of all the things that were happening, and there was a lot of activity in the house." This could be hype for a documentary, or it could be real. It's hard to say, but fans of The Conjuring will have to judge for themselves: Sleepless Anxiety will be released on July 16.

They even claim it has left a long-lasting impact, which is a bit of a stretch to believe. One director said, "When I go home, I still think I'm in the house, I'm still attached to the house. There is an overwhelming sense of wanting to go home," but this definitely sounds like something a character in the film would say, not a real person.

See the trailer:

Nevertheless, the directors' comments about how the audience must mentally process the question of what is real and what is fake seem more legitimate. There are scares, little horror elements, little jump scares. There is also the documentary aspect, which I think is 100% real and much scarier than the scripted version. So when you see something happening in a film, you say, 'Wait, is this real? Isn't this a Hollywood script?'

The question of what is true and what is not is familiar to fans of both reality TV and wrestling, and will probably be a key point of reference for many people watching the film. Will "Sleepless Night Anxiety" be able to convince people that the house in "The Conjuring" is truly traumatic?
