El conjuro 4

The Conjuring: Last Rites is probably the best movie Michael Chaves directed movie in the Conjuring cinematic universe, but overall that's not saying much. It doesn't even come close to what James Wan delivered with the first two films.

What the movie does get right is shifting the focus back to the family side of things, which is what made the originals feel so well-rounded. That was completely missing from The Devil Made Me Do It, which came off empty and forgettable in comparison to the first two. I am not even sure who deserves the credit for that improvement. It could be Chaves, the writers, or James Wan himself, who unfortunately chose to stay mostly in a producing role this time around.

The movie has its problems. Some parts completely contradict canon established in previous films. And at times, Ed and Lorraine act in ways that do not feel true to who they are. The saving grace, as always, is Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. They know how to make even the weaker scripts work, and they continue to be the best part of this franchise. While Chaves' direction continues to be the franchise's weakest link, the script and cast ultimately hold the film together.

If this truly is the conclusion, as the movie suggests, I can confidently say I'm satisfied with how it ends my favorite horror series from the past decade. It only leaves me wishing James Wan had chosen to make what could have been one of the greatest horror trilogies of all time instead of opting for the Aquaman money.

The conjuring and the conjuring 2 remain some of the best horror films within the last 15 years for my taste. Some would even say the conjuring is one of the top horror films of all time. WAN found his niche within his created conjuring universe with the likes of these films, insidious, and all of the other spin offs. With this has come quite a few more filler movies from other directors that are much less experienced aside from (Whannell) at the helm. Michael Chaves is not a bad director by any means, but this simply does not hold a candle to the first two films or even the last one which was actually decently solid. This one just feels like the most uninteresting of the four and while it has a few decent demonic scares and visuals, it simply does not serve that much of a purpose other than a supposed ending. I actually do not think this will be truly the last of the conjuring films either, though I think it should've ended after the last one. I can think of at least three other films within the universe that aren't even great by any means, but are still more interesting than this. Annabelle Creation, The Nun, and even insidious 4 are all more effective . That's not to say this doesn't have a few redeeming qualities if you're a fan, but if it really was the end, Wan should've ended the Warren's story ...

I watched this in IMAX, so of course my expectations were pretty high for The Conjuring: The Last Rites. Maybe I set the bar a little too high, but honestly it didn't disappoint me.

What I liked:

• Solid emotional build-up.

• A satisfying ending.

• A few scenes actually made me flinch.

What didn't work for me:

• Way too predictable (though, to be fair, the Conjuring formula is easy to guess).

• A slow burn at the beginning.

• The music didn't feel scary enough.

• The ending felt a bit rushed.

I just left the cinema, and there's a lot to share. Conjuring: The Last Rite opens really strong-the beginning and build-up are amazing, with a solid story foundation that pulls you in right away. Unfortunately, the ending didn't land for me. The tension and scares were there in parts, but they never fully hit the level I was hoping for. Compared to the first movie, which is still the best in the series for me, this one falls a bit short in delivering lasting chills.

That being said, the cast was great-the actors really carried their roles well and gave strong performances. Overall, it's worth watching if you're a fan of the franchise, but the payoff at the end just didn't match the promise of its opening.

The jump scares are too predictable as it can be find every where on YouTube. PS too many spoilers ahead on the scary part. I was expecting a better build up on the scares as it was the last chapter of the whole conjuring universe, it was pretty disappointing but overall still love and admire the actors especially Patrick and Vera,their performances are truly incredible as always. The chemistry between them is a never ending story which is truly beautiful.
