‘e CoConjuring: Last Rites’ Opens as the Warrens’ Finale to Mixed Notices

Critics single out Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, with frequent notes on the 135‑minute runtime plus a sentimental approach to the real Warrens.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. released The Conjuring: Last Rites in theaters on September 5 as the fourth mainline Conjuring film and the tenth entry in the franchise.
  • The movie is positioned as the concluding chapter for Ed and Lorraine Warren, reuniting Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga under director Michael Chaves.
  • Early reviews commend the lead performances but describe the structure as uneven and the core haunted‑house material as arriving late in the film.
  • Several critics say the film treats the real‑life Warrens with undue reverence, noting that contentious aspects of their history are minimized.
  • The release includes an epilogue with archival images of the real Warrens, a choice reviewers highlight as part of the film’s framing of its subjects.
