The Conjuring Last Rites movie audience review: Horror film gets exorcised by the internet, fans call script ‘the real demon’ despite record pre-sales

Waatha @/JamesWan, what’s wrong with you? Da 🥺 Too lazy to move your hands and direct or what? 🚶‍♀️
And this @MichaelChaves porambokku… such a waste 👎 Wherever he steps in, the movie turns into trash🙃

One X user wrote, “The Conjuring: Last Rites is a complete letdown. nothing new or interesting for horror and thriller fans. It’s a waste of time and a massive disappointment. It is the worst movie of the franchise.” In another review posted on X, the user wrote, “The scariest demon in Last Rites wasn’t on screen; it was the writing. This film deserved an exorcism more than its characters did. A weak finale to a once great franchise, it wastes every ounce of potential it had.” Film critic Beatrice Loayza of the New York Times said, “As it stands, the film is a disappointing send-off; more an eccentric family drama than a real chiller.”

On the other hand, many had slightly better and almost positive reviews for the film, as one user on X wrote, “Personally didn’t quite have the same spine-chilling aura as The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, or Nun 1 and 2. The first half was a very slow burner, but the second half truly found its rhythm, delivering some gripping moments. Another film critic, Tim Robey of the Daily Mail, said, “Sticking to a template fans know with a shivery intimacy by now, it brings the series to rest with enough chillingly imaginative touches to make it a winner.”

#ConjuringTheLastRites – Personally didn’t quite carry the same spine-chilling aura as #TheConjuring2, #Annabelle, or #Nun 1&2.

First half was a very slow burner..
But the second half truly found its rhythm, delivering some gripping moments.

For me, the showdown of the Axe… pic.twitter.com/0X03s5vhem
