The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) - The Warrens: Endgame
Description
On this episode we examine The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), the supposed final chapter in the mainline franchise. Directed by Michael Chaves, the film dramatizes the infamous Smurl haunting while bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren back for one last supernatural battle.
We look at how Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga anchor the story with their reliable performances, and how Judy Warren (Mia Tomlinson) steps into a more central role. But does the film rely too heavily on recycled jump scares and familiar beats? And does Last Rites deliver the emotional closure a franchise this influential deserves—or does it leave us wondering if the series has run out of true scares?
We are joined by Sara with Paranormal in Pennsylvania to talk about the real life investigation that the movie is based on. Listen to more of her here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2VriVej4wyJcA0MVmTdkHR?si=d5e02a58486c4844
