The Conjuring: Last Rites is pitched as a final goodbye to the Conjuring movies, even though we all know Hollywood will find ways to keep this cash cow alive.

As the credits rolled, I wasn’t mad, wasn’t thrilled, just mildly satisfied. The movie delivers what franchise movies usually do: familiar tropes, standard setups, and polished but predictable jump scares. But what stood out was how much time this film spends with the characters.
