Where Does The Conjuring Last Rites Take Place in the Timeline?
The Conjuring: Last Rites takes place in 1986, five years after The Devil Made Me Do It. The film is based on the real-life investigation of the Smurl family, who lived in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, U.S. Out of all the haunting cases investigated by Ed and Laurraine, the Smurl Haunting was one of the high-profile ones. When the family shifted to their new home in 1973, Jack and Janet Smurl called several demonologists as they sensed a demonic presence in their house.
The demon made loud noises, played with their furniture, spread a bad odor, and sometimes harassed the family members sexually. The trail of the paranormal activity began when they shifted, but Ed and Lorraine were called in 1986, when no one else could help the family. Ed also claimed that he could feel the presence instantly when he entered the home. He also stated that the demon tried to communicate with him through the messages on the mirrors, saying ‘Get out.’
The upcoming film is directed by Michael Chaves and sees Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Lorraine and Ed Warren, respectively. The British actress Mia Tomlinson stars as Juddy Warren, the main protagonist’s daughter. Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, and Molly Cartwright appear as members of the Smurl family.
The movie is going to end Phase One of the Conjuring franchise in the most brutal way, so don’t miss your chance to experience it as soon as it’s released.
