The film opened to mixed reviews. A Reddit user wrote that after watching the film, he could call it the worst movie of the franchise.
Another user wrote, "I was hoping that this was going to be done by the original director, but knowing that the same director that did The Last Conjuring did this one, it's just a major letdown. I was going to see it in the theater but I'll wait till it comes out on HBO."
The Conjuring: Last Rites, directed by Michael Chaves and written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, is the ninth installment in The Conjuring Universe. Based on the true-life investigations of the Smurl haunting, the film stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who reprise their roles as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, along with Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy.
