Overview
- The film is billed as the final main chapter for Ed and Lorraine Warren and opened exclusively in theaters on September 4 in Latin America and September 5 in the United States and Spain.
- Director Michael Chaves says the team chose the Smurl haunting to conclude the arc and leaned into a late‑’70s/’80s visual style using C‑series anamorphic lenses.
- The narrative centers Judy Warren to deliver an emotional goodbye about parents letting go, with love and faith countering the fear.
- Prominent on‑screen threats include a cursed mirror tied to the Smurl home and a figure known as the Axe Man, while fans debate whether the unseen demon is Valak or a new presence dubbed “Malamen.”
- Fresh discussion revisits long‑running doubts about the Warrens’ real‑world cases, with coverage pointing to Netflix’s 2023 documentary Juicio al diablo.
