News summary

The Conjuring: Last Rites, the ninth and final installment in the $2+ billion Conjuring franchise, has received mixed but generally positive reviews ahead of its September 5, 2025, U.S. release. The film reunites Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Ed and Lorraine Warren for their final paranormal case, delivering a blend of heartfelt emotion and the classic chilling atmosphere, though some critics noted a lack of fresh scares and a slow pace. Rotten Tomatoes currently rates the film around 62-63%, placing it above several other franchise spin-offs but below the original 2013 movie, which remains the highest-rated. Reviews praised Farmiga and Wilson's performances as a consistent highlight, with some calling it a fitting and touching sendoff, while others criticized its lengthy exposition and familiar storylines, suggesting the franchise shows signs of fatigue. Despite the divisive opinions, the film is acknowledged for its production quality and respectful closure to the Warrens' cinematic journey, with callbacks to previous films and an overall sense of finality. The movie is directed by Michael Chaves and produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, with a supporting cast including Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy.
