Horror fans have reason to be excited as Warner Bros. has released the official trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the fourth and final chapter in the main Conjuring franchise.
Set to hit theaters on September 5, 2024, the film once again stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who face one of their darkest cases yet.
The trailer reveals that Last Rites takes place in 1986, following the Warrens as they investigate terrifying supernatural activity inside a family’s haunted home. Lorraine identifies the sinister entity as the first demon she and Ed ever encountered, raising the stakes for what could be their most dangerous investigation. The footage shows chilling moments, including a demon breaking through a mirror, violent possessions, objects flying across rooms, and horrifying scenes of bloody teeth.
One of the biggest surprises in the trailer is the return of Annabelle, the infamous possessed doll and central figure of three spinoff films. While her exact role in the story remains unclear, her brief appearance hints at a deeper connection to the Warrens’ earliest cases. Whether Annabelle is physically present or a terrifying vision in Ed’s mind, her return is sure to draw longtime fans back to theaters.
The trailer also suggests that Last Rites will deliver the franchise’s bloodiest entry yet. Disturbing imagery includes a character’s mouth flooding with blood and Lorraine trapped in a room submerged in crimson liquid. While gore has always been part of The Conjuring series, this installment appears to push the envelope further, amplifying both intensity and dread.
As the supposed final film in the Conjuring saga, Last Rites promises to bring the story full circle while delivering genuine scares rooted in the Warrens’ “true” case files. With its mix of supernatural horror, shocking visuals, and Annabelle’s eerie return, the movie is already shaping up to be a major box office draw.
If the finished film lives up to the trailer’s terrifying promise, The Conjuring: Last Rites could become one of the scariest and most successful entries in the franchise’s history.
