Directed by Michael Chavez “The Conjuring” franchise has terrified audiences for more than a decade, and its final chapter, “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” arrives as both a haunting farewell and a heartfelt tribute to the central characters Ed and Lorraine Warren. Directed by Michael Chavez, the film attempts to strike a balance between supernatural horror and emotional drama —and largely succeeds in delivering a worthy send-off. From the opening sequence, “Last Rites” establishes a chilling atmosphere that immerses viewers into the Warrens’ world of shadows, whispers, and restless spirits.
