Despite completely flipping the script with The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – which was more of a supernatural thriller than a straight-up horror movie – director Michael Chaves explains why The Conjuring: Last Rites feels more like the first Conjuring film.
"Absolutely. Totally. We test-screened it a lot, and a lot of people would say that it felt full circle. And that was totally the goal," Chaves tells GamesRadar+, when asked if the feeling of Last Rites calling back to The Conjuring 2013 was intentional. "We love our fans and we love our audiences, and we make these movies for fans and for audiences."
