The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)


The fourth and purportedly final entry in Conjuring series (we know better by now, don't we?) and 9th overall film in the franchise concerns their "famous last case" involving the Smurl haunting and an antique mirror that holds a particular significance. As always, the Warrens remain at the center of these films and it's their relationship that grounds all the other silly shit going on. This one is a bit of a marathon at 2 hours and 15 minutes, but it's an emotionally satisfying place for the series to end, even as it romanticizes certain true-life details to fit its agenda. Regardless, this stuff is fascinating to think about.
