The Conjuring: Last Rites | JioHotstar Feb 13
After years of terrifying cases, haunted houses, and demonic forces, The Conjuring: Last Rites marks the ninth and final instalment in The Conjuring Universe. This film doesn’t just bring scares—it delivers emotional closure, personal stakes, and one last battle against pure evil.
Story Overview
Set in 1986, the story follows the Smurl family from Pennsylvania, whose lives take a dark turn after bringing an antique mirror into their home. At first, the object seems harmless. However, strange disturbances soon escalate into violent paranormal attacks.
Unbeknownst to them, the mirror acts as a gateway for a powerful demon that feeds on fear and chaos. As the family’s safety crumbles, they turn to the only people capable of facing such evil — Ed and Lorraine Warren.
However, this time the case becomes deeply personal.
The entity haunting the Smurls has a disturbing connection to Lorraine and her daughter, Judy Warren. Because of this link, the demon’s goal extends beyond one household. It seeks to torment the Warren family as well, turning the investigation into a direct spiritual attack.
Therefore, the Warrens must confront not just another haunting, but a force that threatens their own family. To end the nightmare, they must uncover the mirror’s origin and destroy it before the demon’s grip becomes permanent.
Why This Chapter Feels Bigger
Firstly, the film raises the emotional stakes by involving Judy Warren directly. Secondly, it ties together themes of family, faith, and sacrifice that have defined the series from the start.
Moreover, the haunted object element adds a psychological edge. Instead of a location-based haunting, the evil is tied to an object that can travel, hide, and manipulate events. As a result, the tension feels constant and unpredictable.
