More about the movie
The film received mixed reviews on the aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics gave it 56% and their collective consensus states, “Purportedly Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson‘s final outing as the Warrens, Last Rites underwhelms as a climactic chapter for The Conjuring but solidly upholds the franchise’s spooky standards.” However, the audience rating is much better, a solid 79%, and judging by its box office numbers, it seems the fans like it quite much. The Conjuring: Last Rites was released on September 7.
