Description

It’s officially spooky-season kickoff, so we caught The Conjuring: Last Rites on release day (Sept 5) and hit record the moment we got home. Expect raw, sleepy-brain honesty and lots of laughs.

We frame where The Conjuring 4 lands in the Conjuring Universe and why folks keep flocking to these movies, plus that “Phase One/Phase Two” chatter that’s circulating.

What we liked: glossy atmosphere, strong performances, stellar makeup/prosthetics, and a few mean jump-scares (yes, including one very large… Annabelle). What didn’t: a long, long runway before the Warrens actually “take the case,” and franchise-familiar beats.


  • Opening-night chaos & set-up
  • Where this sits in the Conjuring Universe
  • What worked
  • What didn’t
  • Smurl-haunting beats
  • Why mainstream horror keeps the blood pumping
