In this episode of *Movies First*, Chris and Jessica explore the chilling depths of the latest installment in the *Conjuring* franchise, *The Conjuring: Last Rites*. This ninth film not only continues the series' legacy of supernatural horror but also delves into profound themes of family, faith, and generational trauma. The hosts discuss how the film artfully intertwines the haunting saga of the Smurl family with a deeply personal narrative centered on the Warrens' daughter, Judy, portrayed by Mia Tomlinson.
Listeners will be intrigued by the film's clever structure, which connects Judy's origins to a terrifying mirror from her parents' past, showcasing her inherited supernatural abilities alongside her mother's warmth and compassion. Chris and Jessica highlight the tension created by Judy's relationship with Tony, an ex-cop played by Ben Marti, as he grapples with the unexplainable forces surrounding them.
The episode dives into director Michael Chavez's restrained approach to horror, using visual effects sparingly to build an oppressive atmosphere that keeps audiences on edge. The hosts praise the film for its ability to balance genuine scares with emotional depth, particularly as Ed and Lorraine Warren face personal health challenges that add vulnerability to their characters.
With a solid rating of 7.5 out of 10, *The Conjuring: Last Rites* stands as a remarkable entry that honors the franchise's focus on familial bonds while delivering the thrills that fans crave. Chris and Jessica discuss how this film not only serves as a satisfying conclusion for long-time viewers but also welcomes newcomers into the fold, proving that character-driven horror still has a place in modern cinema.
