The Conjuring: Last Rites (6.6/10)

There are so many movies in The Conjuring series that it’s hard to keep track of where each one falls in order. For me, the first Conjuring is still the best of the bunch. Tt set the tone, delivered great scares, and had a strong emotional core that the later entries haven’t quite matched but this one was close with the scares. Since then, each sequel and spinoff has felt like a slow decline in quality. The Annabelle and The Nun films, while part of the same universe, don’t reach the same level of craftsmanship that made the original Conjuring so effective. They were fun to grow up with, but at this point, the franchise feels a bit tired.

Maybe in another twenty years, a fresh restart could breathe new life into it."In 1986 paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to Pennsylvania to vanquish a demon from a family's home."
