Conjuring 4: The Last Rites begins with a chilling atmosphere, setting the tone for another terrifying case for Ed and Lorraine Warren. The trailer opens with an eerie shot of an old, secluded church, overgrown with weeds, as crows circle ominously overhead. A mysterious voice whispers, “The last rites were spoken, but the evil remains.” The camera slowly pans inside the church, revealing broken pews, shattered stained glass windows, and a large altar covered in dust.
Cut to the Warrens (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), looking visibly concerned as they sift through documents and photos of a family haunted by a relentless entity. “This might be the most dangerous case we’ve ever encountered,” Lorraine says, her voice heavy with dread. The trailer cuts to a family huddled together in a dark, candle-lit living room, their faces pale with fear. Strange occurrences plague their home—doors slamming shut on their own, crucifixes flipping upside down, and whispers coming from the walls.
Suddenly, Lorraine gasps and clutches her chest, her eyes wide in horror. A quick flash shows her inside the church from the opening scene, walking down the center aisle, surrounded by shadowy figures. The voice of a priest recites the rites of exorcism in the background, but there’s an unsettling interruption. The voice grows distorted, and the camera cuts to a close-up of Lorraine’s face, her eyes brimming with terror as something unseen brushes past her.
The trailer then intensifies, showing rapid flashes of chaos: the possessed family members writhing on the floor, the Warrens trying to hold them down as they scream in agony, and a priest desperately trying to finish an exorcism. “It’s not working,” he says in panic, as dark, ghostly figures rise from the shadows, clawing toward the living. Ed shouts, “Get out of the house!” but it’s too late—the evil has already entered their lives.
The tone shifts as Lorraine, struggling with visions, confronts a terrifying revelation. She tells Ed, “This isn’t just a haunting. It’s a curse that’s been growing for centuries.” There’s a shot of her holding a centuries-old relic tied to the origins of the malevolent entity. Suddenly, Lorraine is pulled into a vision, where she witnesses a horrific ritual—hooded figures conducting a dark sacrament in the church. Blood drips from the altar, and Lorraine screams as she realizes the ritual is connected to the evil they’re fighting.
The trailer crescendos with scenes of pure horror—windows shattering, unseen forces throwing people across rooms, Lorraine levitating off the ground, and finally, the menacing face of a demon-like figure looming over Ed. The last shot is of Lorraine standing at the church altar, clutching a rosary, whispering, “It’s not over.”
The title card slams into view: Conjuring 4: The Last Rites. The screen fades to black, with one final whisper: “The devil doesn’t rest.
