The Conjuring: Last Rites

THANK GOD THE DOGS ALIVE

and annabelle has fomo

i so badly wanted to love this movie! i wanted to jump up in the cinema and say ‘HORROR IS SO BACK BITCHES’ but it fell too short. the acting was great, the locations and costumes and even the actors playing young ed & loraine were spot on but- that god damn plot.

there was so many plot holes and questions left unanswered. i felt it was very anticlimactic and had so much potential to be something more. there was inconsistencies with the story of the family, why didn’t they show ed and loraine the evidence? why didn’t we see judy being told about the priest visiting them or how she even ‘seen his death’? how did ed survive? did they seriously defeat a BIG fuck off demon with the mother / daughter power ?
who were the demons? why the attic? why always annebelle? i thought this was a conclusion of this universe and yet nothing was fully tied up whatsoever.

however i did enjoy the coming full circle with judy but i wish we got to understand her more. there wasn’t anything scary about this movie and it really disappointed.

5/10
I really wanted to love it since it's one of my favorite series but they didn't do things right. It lasts more than two hours and the main case feels very rushed and nothing else is explained well. It has some good scares and shots but I feel like the Warrens' plot drags on
