The Conjuring: Last Rites, featuring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in lead roles, was finally released in cinemas today, much to the excitement of fans, who had been eagerly waiting for it.

Netizens' reaction to The Conjuring: The Last Rites

Netizens flooded the social media platform to give their verdict on social media platforms. One user wrote, "#TheConjuringLastRites is really good! Saw it in IMAX, and the sound/screen really adds to the atmosphere of a horror movie. Scary, chilling, and a solid conclusion(?) to the Conjuring movies. I will say that a lot of people are probably gonna piece this movie together very early, but that does not take anything away from it. A lot of tension and terror with little levity, though there is some appropriately placed throughout the movie. All leading into a big epic conclusion that imo sticks the landing. Lastly, all the cast was great, but Mia Tomlinson killed it, and I couldn't help but think she would make a perfect Lois Lane".

While many netizens were not that satisfied with the film. A social media user wrote, "THE CONJURING: LAST RITES. Felt more like a prayer than a horror film. Predictable jump scares, not enough dread… in summary: a worthy curtain call, but not the finale I hoped for. 6/10".

Another user wrote, "The Conjuring: Last Rites review!! 8.3/10. Not as scary, but it definitely felt more personal (can’t spoil why) than other movies. I would put it 3rd-ish fav conjuring for that reason at least. Unlikely, but wish for a spin-off around Judy Warren’s. Annabelle was also in our cinema??".
