The trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the final installment in the beloved horror franchise, has dropped and it promises to be the darkest chapter yet. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as Ed and Lorraine Warren, the real-life paranormal investigators, taking on what is described as their most terrifying case: the haunting of the Smurl family.
Warrens Face Their Most Chilling Case
Set in 1986, the Warrens investigate the home of Janet and Jack Smurl, where a demon has tormented the family for over a decade. From physical attacks to psychological terror, the case is portrayed as the one that pushed the couple to their limits. The trailer teases, “Discover why this case was their last,” hinting at a haunting that leaves permanent scars.
