‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’: a chilling farewell

by Ziggy Keairns | Published Sept. 10, 2025

“The Conjuring: Last Rites” marks a poignant and chilling conclusion to one of horror’s most enduring franchises. Rather than relying solely on jump scares, it leans into legacy, love and the emotional weight of saying goodbye.

The film opens with a sense of reverence, immediately signaling that this isn’t just another case, but the final chapter in the Warrens’ storied journey. What unfolds is a narrative that feels less like a standalone horror flick and more like a tribute to the family at its center.

The story follows Ed and Lorraine Warren as they take on their last investigation, while their daughter, Judy, and her partner, Tony, begin to step into their roles as the next generation of paranormal investigators. This passing of the torch is handled with care, and the film’s emotional core is built around the idea of spiritual inheritance and familial devotion.
