The Conjuring sequel isn't the only horror movie coming out from Warner Bros. and James Wan this summer. Directed by David F. Sandberg and produced by James Wan, Lights Out is heading to theaters on July 22nd, and the first trailer is now available online after premiering at WonderCon.

"From producer James Wan (“The Conjuring”) comes a tale of an unknown terror that lurks in the dark. When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out…and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger…once the lights go out."

Lights Out is based on the 2013 short film of the same name from David F. Sandberg, and stars Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Alexander DiPersia, Billy Burke, and Maria Bello.
