The Conjuring: Last Rites

"This film is easily skippable. It has only one scene that's good at best, and even that feels like an accident in an otherwise poorly directed production. The rest is just over two hours of mind-numbing boredom, dragged down by sluggish pacing and characters you won't care about. It's just plain bad, not 'so bad it's good' funny, and for a movie trying to be a thriller, it is absolutely NOT SCARY!"

While aiming to build upon a great legacy, the film ultimately disappoints. It lacks the intense horror that defines the genre's best works and struggles to deliver genuine scares. Consequently, it falls short of being a proper horror movie, particularly when compared to earlier installments in The Conjuring series😔

I went in with high expectations, but this final film turned out to be a letdown. The story isn't very powerful-it feels more like an extended family drama than a true Conjuring movie. What disappointed me most was that the focus shifted away from Ed and Lorraine, the heart of the franchise.

The scares rely too much on jump scares, loud noises, and crude tricks to shock the audience. They startle, but they don't deliver the bone-chilling fear that earlier Conjuring films are known for.

It's not a total waste of money or time, but as the last chapter of such a beloved franchise, it feels like a weak wrap-up. I left the theater more sorry than satisfied.

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 ...

Would Say the movie was quite Okay. I was there to get scared but instead it was all goosebumps due to the Prayers being told by Ed Warren. The story was fine, some peak moments also exist. Best thing was the climax where they pulled out a GOTG vol.1. Overall the point is I enjoyed the Movie. A nice end to the franchise.
