The Conjuring: Last Rites Twitter Review – Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga Deliver a Terrifying, Emotional Finale

The wait is over – Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring: Last Rites, the much-hyped final chapter of the blockbuster horror franchise. Early reactions from fans on Twitter/X suggest the film is both terrifying and emotional, making it a memorable send-off for the ghost-hunting duo.

Fans Praise Emotional Depth and Scares

Directed by Michael Chaves, the ninth film in The Conjuring universe dives deep into the Warrens’ most personal battle yet. Many viewers are calling it a “fitting farewell” packed with jump scares, nostalgia, and heartfelt moments.

One fan wrote:

“#TheConjuringLastRites is a terrifying final chapter of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s journey. Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga’s chemistry is top-tier as always. The perfect swan song!”

Another added:

“The Warrens went out in a blaze of glory. The scares were insane, but it’s also the most emotional Conjuring film ever.”

Some even ranked it alongside the franchise’s best entries, with comparisons to The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016).

Mixed Reactions: Jump Scares vs Genuine Dread

Not all fans were impressed. Critics of the film pointed out its over-reliance on loud jump scares and moments of unintentional humor.

One viewer noted:

“Characters constantly harassed with jump scares & sound effects. Missed the slow-burn dread of the first Conjuring.”

Others felt the pacing faltered in parts, but even skeptics admitted the film managed to capture the urgency and emotion of a final chapter.

Box Office Roars Worldwide

Despite divided opinions, the film’s commercial performance is anything but shaky.

India Box Office: Opened with an estimated ₹15–20 crore on Day 1, outperforming major local releases. Trade experts predict it could cross the ₹100 crore mark in India – a historic first for a Hollywood horror film.

Global Box Office: On track to gross $100 million+ worldwide in its opening weekend. In the US alone, industry trackers estimate $55 million, surpassing Warner Bros.’ conservative projections of $35 million.

A Franchise Farewell

While James Wan’s original entries remain fan favorites, The Conjuring: Last Rites is being hailed as director Michael Chaves’ best work yet. For many, the film succeeds because of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s heartfelt performances, which anchor the scares with genuine emotion.

As one fan concluded:

“In the end, it’s the characters that shine and make it a worthy final entry. A great ending to one of horror’s most iconic franchises.”
