Regardless of your belief in the actual Ed and Lorraine Warren, it is undeniable that their cinematic versions have been effectively frightening audiences since 2013’s *The Conjuring*. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have infused their performances with depth as the husband-and-wife paranormal investigators in *The Conjuring 2* and *The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It*. They return once again in *The Conjuring: Last Rites*, which is the ninth entry in this extensive spooky franchise, encompassing the spinoffs and sequels of *Annabelle* and *The Nun*. Michael Chaves, who directed *The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It* and *The Nun II*, directs *The Conjuring: Last Rites*. Set in Pennsylvania in 1986, this eerie sequel centers on Jack and Janet Smurl, who suffered through the notorious Smurl haunting. A demon tormented their residence for years, and who better to reach out to than the Warrens? As teased in the trailer, this sinister demon causes chaos for the Smurl family. The malevolent force in *The Conjuring: Last Rites* is not unfamiliar to Ed and Lorraine; it is an evil they have faced previously. Now, it has returned and is setting its sights on their daughter, portrayed by Mia Tomlinson. This storyline promises new frights and dread for the film series, so brace yourself for chills. *The Conjuring: Last Rites* premieres exclusively in theaters on Sept. 5.
