The final haunting begins…
The end is near and it’s more chilling than ever. Warner Bros. has officially unveiled the trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the fourth and final chapter in the mainline Conjuring saga, set to arrive in IMAX theaters September 5th. But don’t be fooled. While this may mark the Warrens’ final case, the ever-expanding Conjuring Universe isn’t done with us yet.
Returning to their roles as real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga step into what may be their darkest and most personal battle against the supernatural yet. The infamous 1986 Smurl haunting, a case involving a Pennsylvania family tormented by an unrelenting demonic presence for over a decade.
“Every case is different. Every family is different. Once we start, there is no going back,” warns Ed Warren in the trailer.
Lorraine, more shaken than ever, forebodingly adds, “Something’s different”.
That “something” becomes horrifyingly clear by the trailer’s end, when a demonic force taunts Lorraine: “We’ve been waiting so patiently… for you,” before violently lunging at her. It’s a terrifying glimpse into what promises to be the most emotionally pulling and naturally haunting installment of the series.
The Masterminds Behind The Forthcoming Film
Directed by franchise veteran Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Curse of La Llorona, The Nun II), and executive produced by Conjuring mastermind James Wan, Last Rites blends signature supernatural dread with a tone of finality — a spiritual swan song for the couple who brought ghost hunting to the mainstream.
The film’s screenplay is penned by genre heavyweights Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and longtime Conjuring writer David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick. The cast expands with rising stars Mia Tomlinson of The Beast Must Die and Ben Hardy from Bohemian Rhapsody, injecting fresh fear into a saga that’s already terrified millions.
Ready For One Last Rite?
Since its debut in 2013, The Conjuring has become a horror juggernaut, spawning an interconnected cinematic universe that’s grossed over $2 billion globally. What started as one haunted house has spiraled into a mythology of cursed objects, demonic nuns, and unholy secrets. And now, it all circles back to where it began — the Warrens, their faith, and the thin line between belief and terror.
The Conjuring: Last Rites hits theaters September 5th, 2025, exclusively in IMAX. This fall, evil isn’t finished as it’s coming home to a theater near you.
