The first reactions are in for The Conjuring: Last Rites – and the latest installment of the long-running horror series is getting an overwhelmingly positive reception.
The movie, which sees Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, marks the end of "phase one" of The Conjuring franchise (with the door open for a potential second phase). It's based on the real-life Smurl haunting, which saw a Pennsylvania couple claim that their home was inhabited by a demon for 15 years in the '70s and '80s.
