‘Conjuring: Last Rites’ Trailer Unleashes Warrens’ First Demon and Annabelle’s Chilling Comeback
The final chapter in the spine-tingling Conjuring universe is almost here, and the newly released trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites promises fans the most terrifying case yet. Dropping ahead of its theatrical release on September 5, the trailer teases Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren’s ultimate confrontation—against the demon that first plunged them into the supernatural world.
Directed by franchise regular Michael Chaves and produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, The Conjuring: Last Rites revisits the chilling real-life Smurl Haunting. This case haunted a Pennsylvania family for over a decade. In a twist worthy of franchise lore, this isn’t just any demon—it’s the same sinister entity the Warrens encountered in their youth and fled from in fear.
“There’s something in the attic,” warns Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), her voice trembling with dread. “It’s a demon… the first one we’ve ever encountered.”
Patrick Wilson returns as Ed Warren, standing beside Vera Farmiga’s Lorraine Warren as they revisit the past—and face the consequences of an unfinished exorcism. “We were young. We were scared. We ran away,” Lorraine confesses. But now, the evil has come full circle, threatening not just the family under attack—but the Warrens themselves.
Adding to the chills in The Conjuring: Last Rites, the Annabelle doll makes a fleeting but unforgettable return, signaling that the franchise’s most notorious artifact isn’t done tormenting viewers. The trailer ends in chaos: Vera Farmiga’s Lorraine Warren being chased by a possessed figure, Ed Warren rushing to save her, and the eerie flicker of cursed relics foreshadowing a cataclysmic finale.

Mia Tomlinson takes on the role of Judy Warren, the Warrens’ daughter, with Ben Hardy portraying her now-husband Tony Spera. A strong supporting cast—including Steve Coulter, Kíla Lord Cassidy, and Shannon Kook—rounds out the horror ensemble.
The Conjuring: Last Rites trailer depicts more than a case file. It’s the culmination of a legacy. From the haunted halls of the Perron farmhouse to the courtrooms of The Devil Made Me Do It, the Warrens have battled evil on every front. But Last Rites promises to reveal why this was their final investigation—and what it cost them.
For fans of horror, the Conjuring franchise has set the standard for supernatural storytelling. And now, with the stakes higher than ever, this farewell with The Conjuring: Last Rites promises both closure and terror in equal measure.
