The Conjuring: Last Rites: What the reviews say

The Conjuring: Last Rites is out in cinemas now, and we've compiled the comments from the film critics to let you know what the reviews have to say about it.

Empire gives it 3 stars, saying "There are callbacks to the previous films, and even a little cameo from series supremo James Wan, to tie everything together neatly at the end. Purportedly the end, anyway: with a series like this, things often come back to life unexpectedly".

The Telgraph gives it 4 stars, and says "it's the freakiest of the franchise", adding "The Conjuring franchise has come a long way since 2013, when it was inaugurated with a jump-scare-packed paranormal chiller of that name, vaguely based on a true story…"

IGN score it 6/10 and write: "Ed & Lorraine have been its center from the start, and there is something poignant about seeing them get a finale, which the film’s epilogue briefly taps into".

HeyUguys rate it 3/5 and state: "Wilson and Farmiga’s performances are highlights, their seasoned portrayals lending weight to both the horror and the emotional stakes. The film also demonstrates the enduring appeal of the Warrens as central figures to the whole franchise".

The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as Lorraine and Ed Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise. You can get your tickets now from myvue.com
