The Conjuring: Last Rites - Reviews

...a loving goodbye to a pair of characters who solidify their place as genre icons.

While it doesn't possess many new ideas, the latest entry in the Warrens' supernatural spook-fest should please long-time fans.

...despite several creepy scenes that provide a proper Conjuring jolt, when it comes to giving them a compelling final case, Last Rites ultimately feels lacking.

For at least half of its runtime, Last Rites is as handsome, solidly made and jumpy as the original.

This send-off is the freakiest in the franchise

...unlike a lot of movies that sell the idea of families being stronger when they all work together, this one totally believes in it and sells it with all the skill and emotion it can muster.

This isn't a documentary, it's junk food entertainment, and sometimes, your body craves those sort of empty calories. I, for one, will miss the (fictional) Warrens.

This latest instalment, which seems intended as a finale of sorts for its demonologist heroes, is often very scary...

...a well-made film. I might even call it the best Conjuring film since the original.

...delivers on demonic terror, but it also has at its heart an exploration of legacy, love, and the burdens of carrying faith through darkness. Though there’s little innovative, it’s an impressive balance of horror with poignancy.
