The Conjuring: Last Rites has debuted to a pretty average Rotten Tomatoes score, but it's still ranking fairly well against the rest of the long-running franchise.
Ahead of its release this week, the horror movie currently has a critics' score of 62% on the review aggregator site, based on 58 reviews. That puts it at number five out of 10 in Rotten Tomatoes' ranking of The Conjuring franchise, ahead of titles like The Devil Made Me Do It (56%) and Annabelle (28%), but below the first two Conjuring movies (86% and 80%).
Elsewhere, Bloody Disgusting writes, "Last Rites is suitably nightmarish where it counts, bringing memorable chills that linger and spilling more blood than usual in a Conjuring film. But it’s more affecting for the way it wears its heart on its sleeves."
Per RogerEbert.com's review, "The climax of Last Rites is as tense and unsettling as you want to be, but it’s also warm and inspiring."
However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "Farmiga and Wilson haven’t lost their appeal, and with their relaxed chemistry, they make for engaging company. But it all feels old hat by now, with returning director Michael Chaves failing to bring much freshness or vitality to the proceedings."
"Still more than its predecessors, The Conjuring: Last Rites feels for much of its overlong running time like a syrupy soap opera," reads the Sydney Morning Herald's review.
