“The Conjuring: Last Rites” (**1/2 out of four) was a well-crafted sequel in this endless series about the two paranormal investigators (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) who have to take on one last case involving mysterious entities that question their state of reality as they have to utilize all their past investigative knowledge to try and survive. One of the better series entries, thanks to some good soundtrack selections and occasional scares………….but it’s still pretty thin stuff and (like other entries) goes on way too long. Series fans (I’m not) will likely like this better but it’s about time horror filmmakers “conjured” up some new ideas.
