Last Case. Last Rites.
In Theaters and IMAX® September 5, 2025
The haunting legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren reaches its climactic conclusion in The Conjuring: Last Rites, the ninth and final installment in the $2 billion Conjuring Universe. Directed by franchise mainstay Michael Chaves and produced by horror maestros James Wan and Peter Safran, this chapter pulls no punches in delivering a chilling farewell to the beloved demon-hunting duo.
Reprising their iconic roles, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as the Warrens, real-life paranormal investigators who have anchored this supernatural saga since 2013. This time, they’re faced with their darkest and most personal case yet—one that not only threatens their lives but also the legacy they’ve built. As the Warrens grapple with evil forces and inner demons, Last Rites proves a fitting and emotionally resonant send-off.
Adding to the emotional weight are Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy as Judy Warren and Tony Spera, introducing a new generation of characters who may—or may not—carry the torch. Franchise regular Steve Coulter returns as Father Gordon, joined by a strong supporting cast including Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, and Shannon Kook.
The screenplay, crafted by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (from a story by Johnson-McGoldrick and James Wan), strikes a careful balance between supernatural terror and human vulnerability. The scares are as polished as ever, but it’s the emotional stakes—love, legacy, and loss—that give this chapter its weight.
Michael Chaves, who previously helmed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, brings a visual confidence that enhances both the horror and heart of the story. With atmospheric cinematography by Eli Born, taut editing from Elliot Greenberg and Gregory Plotkin, and an eerie score by Benjamin Wallfisch, the film maintains the franchise’s high production standards.
The Conjuring: Last Rites is not just a horror film—it’s a farewell, a tribute, and a legacy-defining moment. It honors its past while confronting the inevitability of finality, leaving fans with both goosebumps and gratitude. Whether you’re in it for the jump scares or the emotional payoff, this final chapter does not disappoint.
This movie is a Webfans® must-see.
Verdict: 8.5/10
A haunting and heartfelt finale that reminds us why The Conjuring Universe became a cornerstone of modern horror. Prepare for one last case, and one unforgettable ride.
