Ever since James Wan’s The Conjuring released in theaters back in 2013, the ever-popular horror franchise has spawned several films that all belong under the Conjuring umbrella.

The upcoming series is expected to dive head first into the charming horror story that first captured the fandom’s attention, and we’re more than excited for it.

And with a bright star like Nic Cage at the center, it certainly comes as no surprise that the vampire horror has been drawing early comparisons to John Wick. Such a comparison is undoubtedly a compliment, seeing as the action franchise is one of the most popular today.
