Our take
Ed and Lorraine Warren face one last haunting in this franchise closer. The R rating is for bloody violence and terror, including vomiting blood, mirror demons, and references to a stillborn child. Reviews say it is more graphic than earlier entries. Not for horror-sensitive kids
Uplifting themes
Marital devotion and faith against darkness offer modest uplift

Talk after watching
- Franchise horror uses faith against evil. How does your family feel about religious themes in scary movies?
- Graphic demonic imagery can linger after the credits. Plan a wind-down if your teen is anxious at night.
- True-story claims appear in marketing. Discuss fact versus dramatization in paranormal films.
