A few thoughts on The Conjuring: Last Rites
Supernatural runs on the same fuel, dogged investigators facing demons and hauntings case by case, and rewards a long binge. For haunted-house craft in another medium, the comic Locke & Key builds slow supernatural dread around a family and a house full of secrets. The real Warren case files are the franchise's bottomless well.
More haunted house sagas from the same slow-burn horror universe
Last Rites closes the mainline Warren story from Wan's nine-film Conjuring Universe, and its neighbors are the franchise's earlier entries plus the sister series built by the same team. The Conjuring 2 and The Devil Made Me Do It follow the same Ed and Lorraine, Annabelle Comes Home spins off their haunted cases, and the Insidious sequels carry the same slow dread that Wan and Leigh Whannell brought to horror.
Exorcism horror that leans on real Catholic ritual, not jump scares
Ed and Lorraine work as lay demonologists partnered with the Church, and Last Rites keeps that procedural, ritual-heavy texture instead of pure shock. The Pope's Exorcist follows a real Vatican exorcist through similar rites, Deliver Us From Evil is drawn from an actual NYPD case worked alongside a priest, and the two Exorcist sequels return to the same slow, sacramental dread that made the original a touchstone.
