Prepare yourself. Lock the doors. You may want to sleep with the lights on. ED and Lorraine Warren are returning for one last paranormal investigation in The Conjuring: Last Rites. The 4th installment promises to be the darkest and most disturbing chapter yet in this cherished horror franchise. Dare I say we are already clutching our rosaries?
The Conjuring: Last Rites Plot and Cast
Set 5 years after The Devil Made Me Do It, we find Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back at it as Ed and Lorraine Warren, but are now in semi-retirement. After Ed’s heart attack in the previous film, the paranormal Sherlocks have stepped back from active investigations, mainly focusing on university lectures. But when the Smurl family encounters a demonic presence in their Pennsylvania home, the Warrens are pulled back into the dark.
Director Michael Chaves isn’t pulling any punches, declaring:
“The Smurl case was the darkest thing we’ve ever seen in the series”.
The film also stars Ben Hardy as Tony Spera, alongside Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan as Janet and Jack Smurl, the terrorized homeowners. Mia Tomlinson also stars as Judy, the Warren’s now adult daughter, who is helping the aging couple take on this demonic presence.
Release Date
Mark your calendars for September 5th, 2025—that’s when Ed and Lorraine take on their final paranormal case, and it’s one for the books.
