The preview, released Thursday, shows Lorraine Warren (Farmiga) and her husband, Ed (Wilson) as they journey to a haunted Pennsylvania home in 1986. "Ed, there's an evil here," Lorraine says as the teaser continues. "Something I've felt before. She tells the family living there that "this thing in your house is a demon." "It's the first one that we ever encountered," she continues. "We were young. We were scared. We ran away. And after all these years, it wasn't done with our family." The story is inspired by real-life paranormal investigators and is the fourth main Conjuring film. The first arrived in 2013, followed by The Conjuring 2 and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Creepy New Trailer for THE CONJURING: LAST RITES Unleashes the Infamous Smurl Haunting — GeekTyrant
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites . This will be the final film in The Conjouring franchise that will feature Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga and as Ed and Lorraine Warren, and it will be sad to see them go because I've loved these films! The Conjuring: Last Rites 'delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise.' Set in 1986, five years after The Devil Made Me Do It , the Warrens are semi-retired, older, wearier, and grappling with Ed's worsening heart condition. This time around, the Warrens are drawn into one last case: the infamous Smurl family haunting. The Smurls, Janet and Jack (played by Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan), were reportedly plagued by a malevolent force that tormented their family, and the case became a national sensation. 'Janet and Jack Smurl moved their family into a duplex on Chase Street in West Pittston, Pa., in the 1970s. In the years that followed, the Smurls, including their young daughters and Jack's parents, claimed to experience supernatural occurrences ranging from strange odors and voices all the way to ghostly molestations.' The Smurls appeared on TV programs such as Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight and 'made it one of the more publicized cases of supernatural activity, but it also gave skeptics ammunition to say they sold out for the public spotlight. The story became the subject of the book The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare (1986) and a 1991 made-for-TV movie starring Sally Kirkland.' Farmiga and Wilson star alongside Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who portray Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend, Tony Spera, as well as Steve Coulter returning as Father Gordon, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton and Shannon Kook. Franchise veteran Michael Chaves directs from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who came up with the story with James Wan. The movie will haunt theaters on September 5th.

‘The Conjuring: Last Rites' Teases the Warrens' Final Dance With the Devil
It's been over a decade since The Conjuring hit theaters and terrified audiences enough to spark what's now an ever-expanding cinematic universe, with Annabelle and The Nun spawning adjacent series. But the supernatural adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren—based on the real-life paranormal investigators and played in the Conjuring movies by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga—are coming to an end in The Conjuring: Last Rites. We now have a second trailer for the fourth Conjuring movie, directed by Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), and it teases more about the case that'll be featured—and why it's the one that stopped the Warrens from continuing their work. The demon they encounter is not just especially evil and angry… it knows them. They've met before, you see. We also get a glimpse of what appears to be yet another haunted object for the Warrens' collection—a spooky music box would fit right in—as well as a particularly chilling riff on that old horror standby, the multiple mirror illusion. As you can see in the trailer, The Conjuring: Last Rites also stars Mia Tomlinson as an older version of Judy, the Warrens' daughter, a character who's appeared in previous installments. Steve Coulter is also back as Father Gordon. Here's the official synopsis: 'The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise. Farmiga and Wilson star alongside Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who portray Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend, Tony Spera, as well as Steve Coulter returning as Father Gordon, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton, and Shannon Kook.'

All Minors, no majors: Learning to drive in a 57-year-old Morris
Learning to drive in a classic car can be a very shrewd choice – and it could well make you a better driver too You can keep your Fiestas, this is a far cooler car for learning to drive in Close There's a Morris Minor fan near where I live. He has a Traveller on his drive and a saloon on the road outside that doesn't appear to have moved for some time because there's an eco system developing underneath it. Then a few weeks ago, while cycling past Hampton Court Palace, I saw what looked like the saloon motoring along the A308 in the direction of the M3. An impressive turnaround in fortune for a car that, I suspected, might never run again. Except this wasn't that Morris Minor. This one was being driven by a young-looking lad who, from the presence of an L-plate front and back, appeared to be learning to drive in it. A few days later, I spotted the car parked outside the local doctor's surgery. Further detective work revealed that the blue 1968 Morris Minor 1000 is the pride and joy of father Ed Wilson and his son Patrick. Patrick is 17 years old and has been learning to drive over the past four months. First, if you believe the mass media, no youngsters are learning to drive these days, and second, if they are, they're not likely to be learning in a 57-year-old classic. I found the sight of young Patrick in his Morris Minor rather heart-warming. So, Ed, why isn't junior learning to drive in something more modern? Something a bit more conventional like a Volkswagen Polo or Ford Fiesta? 'Money,' says Ed. 'At least that's the primary reason.' I'd heard via word of mouth that insuring young people to drive a classic car was far cheaper than for a modern car. That turned out to be true because Patrick, who is the policy holder on the Minor, with dad as a named driver, pays only £120 per year. "That's for limited mileage, and only 1000 miles at that, but that's adequate for us as we don't go very far from home,' says Ed. 'And although the premium will rise once he's passed his test, it will still be far cheaper than for a modern car.' Why a Morris Minor? 'Well, my grandfather had one,' says Ed, 'which added some appeal. We looked at a Traveller but the woodwork was really rotten so we gave that one a miss. Then we spotted this saloon that was for sale for £1500. "As you can see, the paintwork is very dull and there is some surface rust in places, but structurally it's pretty sound. The other advantage of this car is that it's ULEZ-exempt, which is an important factor when you're on a tight budget.' Ed learned to drive at the age of 25 in a Ford Fiesta, a rather more sophisticated car than the Moggie. 'It took me a while to adjust to driving the Minor,' he says, 'but Patrick picked it up quicker than me.' Patrick says: 'Most of my friends are learning to drive, but nobody is driving a car as old as ours. They haven't commented much on the Morris but my sister Poppy reckons that it's a really cool car.' Even for Ed, the Morris has features he had not encountered before. Such as a foot-operated dip switch. 'I've never owned a car with a manual choke,' he says, 'which has taken some mastering.' But it's not what the car has: it's what it hasn't that makes it interesting for a learner driver. Like synchromesh on first gear. 'I've had to learn to think ahead,' says Patrick. 'I only drive the car in town but even so I have to think carefully when I'm coming up to a junction or making a manoeuvre. I don't think I'd like to drive it on a motorway as it's not fast enough and other traffic would be intimidating. I'll be taking my test in a modern car.' There's no question in my mind that Patrick will be a better driver for learning in such an analogue car with no distractions. He'll be picking up skills that will be of great use to him throughout his driving life even if he does migrate to a modern car that will help steer and park for him, spot pedestrians and carry out emergency stops. What did I learn in? A Morris Minor 1000 Traveller. Join our WhatsApp community and be the first to read about the latest news and reviews wowing the car world.
