Some Reviews:

Bloody Disgusting - Meagan Navarro - 3 / 5

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.

Collider - Jeff Ewing - 7 / 10

What Last Rites gets most correct is its family dynamics, hearkening back to the first film's initial moments and providing a strong thread throughout the series. Farmiga, Wilson, and new and returning characters all pull this off brilliantly. It also pays off the effects of Annabelle Comes Home on the Warren family and Judy's fledgling capabilities, setting her up for an interesting character arc. There are seriously scary moments, memorable visuals, and some strong set pieces that might well be remembered alongside the first film's hide and clap game or the sequel's Crooked Man jump assault. Still, it's relatively slow and comparably light on scares (compared to the first two) for a supposed franchise-ender.

TheWrap - William Bibbiani

As a scary movie, 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' is a generic film, neither good nor bad. It’s practically begging audiences to judge it on a 'pass/fail' basis. As the conclusion of the 'Conjuring' series, it’s a little more successful, but not much.

The Film Verdict - Alonso Duralde

Cue the creepy attics and doom-filled cellars and horrific visions of ax-wielding maniacs, but these haunted-house trappings no longer carry the fright or the fun that the Conjuring movies once reliably provided.

GamesRadar+ - Amy West - 2.5 / 5

Not disastrous but disappointing all the same, The Conjuring 4 is a serviceable sequel that commits the ultimate sin of not being bold or memorable enough for a final chapter -- and that's a shame.
