The first trailer for The Conjuring 4: Last Rites (2025) brings audiences back into the eerie, terrifying world of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played once again by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. This time, the Warrens face their most dangerous case yet, hinted to be their final battle against a dark force that challenges their deepest fears and faith.
The trailer begins with Ed and Lorraine receiving a desperate plea for help from a small rural town, where a series of mysterious deaths and violent disturbances have terrified the local community. The trailer showcases shadowy figures, flickering lights, and objects moving on their own as the town’s residents share their horrifying encounters. It becomes evident that the haunting centers around an abandoned church, rumored to be a place where dark rituals were performed. As they investigate, the Warrens uncover a terrifying history of sacrificial rites and demonic summoning tied to the church’s former priest, who was executed for practicing forbidden occult magic.
The trailer escalates as Lorraine experiences disturbing visions of the spirit realm, seeing glimpses of an ancient demonic entity connected to past cases they’ve encountered. These visions reveal a malevolent figure whose influence extends across generations, suggesting that this case is linked to many of the Warrens’ past encounters. The trailer teases jump-scares and unsettling moments, including Lorraine being pulled into a mirror where she’s confronted by ghostly apparitions that seem to mock her.
In a spine-chilling scene, Ed is shown performing a final “last rites” ritual, risking his own soul to protect Lorraine and close the portal to the demonic realm. The tension builds as the entity pushes back, nearly overpowering him. Lorraine’s psychic powers are tested as she faces the spirit directly, pleading for it to release the souls it has trapped. The final moments show both Ed and Lorraine weakened, hinting that this confrontation may leave lasting scars or, potentially, a fatal outcome.
The trailer ends on a dark note, with a whispering voice ominously declaring, “It’s not over until you’ve paid in full.” This line sets the stage for a terrifying, high-stakes showdown, promising that The Conjuring 4 will push the Warrens—and audiences—to the limits of fear.
