Creepy New Trailer for THE CONJURING: LAST RITES Unleashes the Infamous Smurl Haunting — GeekTyrant
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites . This will be the final film in The Conjouring franchise that will feature Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga and as Ed and Lorraine Warren, and it will be sad to see them go because I've loved these films! The Conjuring: Last Rites 'delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise.' Set in 1986, five years after The Devil Made Me Do It , the Warrens are semi-retired, older, wearier, and grappling with Ed's worsening heart condition. This time around, the Warrens are drawn into one last case: the infamous Smurl family haunting. The Smurls, Janet and Jack (played by Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan), were reportedly plagued by a malevolent force that tormented their family, and the case became a national sensation. 'Janet and Jack Smurl moved their family into a duplex on Chase Street in West Pittston, Pa., in the 1970s. In the years that followed, the Smurls, including their young daughters and Jack's parents, claimed to experience supernatural occurrences ranging from strange odors and voices all the way to ghostly molestations.' The Smurls appeared on TV programs such as Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight and 'made it one of the more publicized cases of supernatural activity, but it also gave skeptics ammunition to say they sold out for the public spotlight. The story became the subject of the book The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare (1986) and a 1991 made-for-TV movie starring Sally Kirkland.' Farmiga and Wilson star alongside Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who portray Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend, Tony Spera, as well as Steve Coulter returning as Father Gordon, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton and Shannon Kook. Franchise veteran Michael Chaves directs from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who came up with the story with James Wan. The movie will haunt theaters on September 5th.

‘The Conjuring: Last Rites' Teases the Warrens' Final Dance With the Devil
It's been over a decade since The Conjuring hit theaters and terrified audiences enough to spark what's now an ever-expanding cinematic universe, with Annabelle and The Nun spawning adjacent series. But the supernatural adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren—based on the real-life paranormal investigators and played in the Conjuring movies by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga—are coming to an end in The Conjuring: Last Rites. We now have a second trailer for the fourth Conjuring movie, directed by Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), and it teases more about the case that'll be featured—and why it's the one that stopped the Warrens from continuing their work. The demon they encounter is not just especially evil and angry… it knows them. They've met before, you see. We also get a glimpse of what appears to be yet another haunted object for the Warrens' collection—a spooky music box would fit right in—as well as a particularly chilling riff on that old horror standby, the multiple mirror illusion. As you can see in the trailer, The Conjuring: Last Rites also stars Mia Tomlinson as an older version of Judy, the Warrens' daughter, a character who's appeared in previous installments. Steve Coulter is also back as Father Gordon. Here's the official synopsis: 'The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise.

The Conjuring: Last Rites Trailer Hints At The Warrens' Darkest Case Yet
Last Updated: Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the The Conjuring: Last Rites trailer to investigate the Smurl family haunting. The trailer for the last film in The Conjuring franchise, The Conjuring: Last Rites, has just dropped, and it's packed with spine chilling moments that will give you nightmares. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as the iconic paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who will be facing their most terrifying case yet, the haunting of the Smurl family. For over a decade, the family experienced physical and mental abuse by a demon. Described as Warrens' darkest case, the teaser mentions 'Discover why this case was their last." Set in 1986, the Warrens investigate Janet and Jack Smurls' home, where the demon's terrifying presence has left the family in constant fear. The promo starts with Ed showing their room full of cursed objects, like the painting of the nun Valak and the iconic haunted doll Annabelle. Ed talks about their past work, saying they have handled over 1,000 cases. The clip then cuts to Lorraine seeing an unknown hand on their daughter's shoulder. Then, the trailer shows a young girl getting scared by dolls floating in the air and a demon hides behind one of them. Lorraine feels that 'something is different." The trailer shows creepy scenes like a sink filled with blood. In the final scene, a demon tells Lorraine, 'We've been waiting so patiently for you," before running towards her. Last Case. Last Rites. #TheConjuring: Last Rites – Only in Theaters September 5. — The Conjuring (@TheConjuring) May 8, 2025 Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Vera Farmiga said, 'I'm going to miss Patrick most of all. I mean, not really. He's reachable within seconds on text. But I'll miss him as a fun scene partner who totally understands my kind of neurology, who vibes with my brain in a way. I love that guy. I'm so blessed to have had him by my side. He made all of these life-zapping, exhausting exorcisms feel like a family barbecue." Wilson was emotional at the franchise ending. 'I think that's why when you say, 'Can you imagine it being over?' I actually can't imagine it really because of her. It really meant the world to me. I didn't think we'd be doing this for 12, 13 years. I only know this because I have a shirt from running a race in Wilmington. It says 2012, [which is] when we shot the first one. So, yeah, I get emotional. I can't imagine not doing a movie with her," he stated For The Conjuring: Last Rites, while Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back in the lead roles, they will be joined by Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who play their daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend Tony Spera. Steve Coulter also returns as Father Gordon. The cast also includes Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton and Shannon Kook.
