The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) is the fourth main installment in The Conjuring universe, bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren back for their final terrifying case. Set in the late 1980s, the film follows the Warrens as they investigate a string of mysterious possessions linked to an ancient demonic force. A young priest seeks their help after witnessing a series of unexplainable deaths within his parish, each marked by eerie symbols. As they dig deeper, the Warrens uncover a long-forgotten religious order that once attempted to contain the evil, only to suffer a gruesome fate.
The case takes them to a remote European monastery where a chilling presence lingers. Strange apparitions, whispering voices, and inexplicable disturbances plague the grounds. Lorraine, using her clairvoyant abilities, begins to unravel the tragic history of the monastery, discovering that the entity haunting it is older and more powerful than anything they have faced before. As Ed and Lorraine attempt to perform an exorcism, the demon manipulates their perception of reality, making them question their own faith and sanity.
As they battle the entity, they realize that the demon is not just seeking a hostโit is attempting to open a gateway that will unleash a new wave of terror upon the world. With time running out, they must find a way to seal the ancient evil before it escapes into the mortal realm. The Warrens are forced to confront their deepest fears, pushing their faith and love to the ultimate test. When Ed becomes possessed, Lorraine must make an impossible choice: risk losing him forever or sacrifice herself to banish the demon once and for all.
The climax unfolds in a harrowing confrontation inside the monasteryโs catacombs. The demon, revealing its true form, taunts the Warrens with visions of their past failures. As Lorraine channels all her strength, she calls upon the power of their unwavering faith, breaking the entityโs hold on Ed. With one final incantation, they seal the demon away, but not without consequences. The monastery collapses, and the Warrens barely escape with their lives, forever changed by the encounter.
In the aftermath, they return home, weary yet victorious. However, as Lorraine places the final artifact from the case into their infamous collection, she feels a chill run down her spine. A whisper echoes through the room, leaving the lingering question: is the nightmare truly over, or has something far worse been set in motion?
