THE MOVIE \u2014 2\u00be\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot synopsis:<\/strong> Ed and Lorraine Warren’s (PATRICK WILSON, VERA FARMIGA) investigation into the real-life Smurl family haunting in Pennsylvania, involving a possessed mirror and a powerful demon that terrorizes the family and personally affects Lorraine, forcing the aging Warrens to confront a malevolent entity tied to their past and potentially ending their demon-hunting careers.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>The Conjuring Universe<\/em> has been one of those franchises with a few ups but plenty of downs. While the first two, helmed by the creative James Wan, were excellent supernatural-horror films, which is high praise coming from somebody who doesn\u2019t generally care for that type of horror genre. Outside of The Conjuring 1 & 2<\/em>, the rest in the series have ranged from passable (Annabelle Creation<\/em> and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It<\/em>) to outright turkeys (especially The Nun 1 & 2<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The Conjuring: Last Rites<\/em><\/strong> falls somewhere in the middle. It\u2019s perfectly watchable for sure and I still enjoy the chemistry between Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, the rest is surprisingly pretty bland and an utter bore. Not sure if the series has run its course, though the $500M worldwide box office gross says otherwise, but the concept feels tired and for sure, the direction from Michael Chaves was certainly lacking.<\/p>\n

One of the most positive things I can say about Last Rites<\/em><\/strong> is, and this was the same with The Devil Made Me Do It<\/em>, was the wonderful chemistry between Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, their portrayal of the Warrens has been so wholesome and makes each of their appearances throughout this franchise made more enjoyable. That said, even Wilson and Farmiga can\u2019t save a thin script and the surprisingly lackluster scares. For her part, Mia Tomlinson, taking over for Sterling Jerins who portrayed Judy Warren in the first three Conjuring<\/em> films, was decent enough especially given her character is of more importance to the story.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a whole lot of reason to really watch The Conjuring: Last Rites<\/em><\/strong>, it\u2019s not bad by any stretch but it\u2019s also not really worth your two hours either. Considering the box office success the studio of course is moving forward with a prequel which I don\u2019t have high hopes on either.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The Conjuring: Last Rites<\/em><\/strong> takes possession on the 4K Ultra HD where it\u2019s presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 2160p high-definition transfer. As with all of the movies in the Conjuring Universe<\/em>, these aren\u2019t exactly the most well lit movies, even during daytime scenes. As such, black levels during the dim scenes are well balanced though at times it was difficult to discern what was going on. Still, detail was relatively sharp while colors are on the more muted side of things.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The included Dolby Atmos is very strong going along with most of the Conjuring Universe<\/em> releases, even the non-Atmos tracks. Dialogue comes across with great clarity and there is wonderful depth once the demons begin attacking.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The Conjuring: Last Rites<\/em><\/strong> is easily the weaker entry in the franchise and while I still like the dynamic between Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, the series has certainly waned at this point and the story this go around not nearly as engrossing. Still, as it stands it\u2019s not a terrible film at least.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
