The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) is a darker, more meditative film than previous entries in The Conjuring Universe. Instead of continuing to up the ante with demonically possessed characters, the film takes a more psychological approach.
It presents Ed and Lorraine Warren’s central case as being about conscience, morality, and ultimately, the heavy toll on Ed and Lorraine of their years spent fighting evil. Conjuring the last rites emphasis on ritual and faith, and the consequences of irrevocably choosing to confront the forces of evil, sets it apart from the other films in the series.
Rather than simply telling another haunting story, this film serves as a poignant, reflective epilogue to the entire series, asking, “What is left after you’ve fought the good fight against the forces of darkness?”
