Directed by Calvin More McCarthy (Mutant Vampires from Planet Neptune; A Haunting In Ravenwood), Conjuring the Beyond stars Victoria Grace Borrello as a woman who signs up for a sleep study
hoping it will ease her mental health issues, only to find herself at the
centre of a very real nightmare.
Steve Larkin, Tim Coyle, Neil Green, Jax Kellington, Jon Meggison
and Chynna Rae Shurts also star.
"Conjuring the Beyond started as a literal nightmare," says
McCarthy. "About a year ago I had my first and only experience with sleep paralysis.
At that moment, when I woke up I immediately thought of it as a movie.
What if that was real. What if in that state between consciousness and
unconsciousness our minds are susceptible to other worlds around us? Maybe
the unconscious isn’t such a pretty place. The concept and the overall
story for Conjuring the Beyond came quickly. It was one of
those ideas that feels so hot that it almost writes itself."
Conjuring the Beyond is on US VOD from September 13th. A
UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

The official synopsis reads:
Conjuring the Beyond follows Wanda, recently divorced and feeling lost, who signs up for an alternative sleep study in a desperate attempt to alleviate her worsening mental health. Lead researcher, Dr. Richard Pretorious, is certain he can use hypnosis to combat the frightening condition of sleep paralysis. However, when the other participants start to go missing, and Pretorious becomes increasingly and dangerously obsessed with the “demons” of the human mind, Wanda must unravel the mystery of her condition before it’s too late...
