Whether or not you believe in the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren, it can't be argued that their movie counterparts have been successfully scaring audiences since 2013's The Conjuring.
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have brought gravitas to the roles of husband-and-wife paranormal investigators across The Conjuring 2, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. And now they're back with The Conjuring: Last Rites, which — counting the spinoffs and sequels of Annabelle and The Nun — makes for the ninth installment in this sprawling spooky franchise.
Michael Chaves, director of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Nun II, takes the helm of The Conjuring: Last Rites. Set in 1986 Pennsylvania, this scary sequel centers on the case of Jack and Janet Smurl, who suffered the notorious Smurl haunting. As the story goes, a demon plagued their home for years. So, who better to call than the Warrens?
As teased in the trailer above, this dastardly demon brings destruction to the Smurl family. And the evil entity in The Conjuring: Last Rites is not new to Ed and Lorraine. It's a wickedness they've faced before. Now, it's back and after their daughter, played by Mia Tomlinson. This premise is sure to bring fresh scares and terror to this film series, so brace yourself for goosebumps.
