What to expect from The Conjuring: Last Rites?

As the final installment of the Warrens' saga, the movie is expected to explore one of their most challenging cases. Last Rites is a retelling of the Smurl haunting, where the Smurl family is purported to experience non-stop paranormal activity in their home.

While based on these histories, the movie includes fictionalized information to create tension and provide a screen-based narrative, consistent with the franchise. As The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It ended in 1981, the Last Rites timeline would delve further into the 1980s since the movie is based on a real story and thus will have a darker and more intimate plot.
