The coordinated franchise power was never its fears

Moderate spoilers of “The Conjuring: Last Rites”.

“The Conjuring” has become strong since 2013, which has led to one of the most popular and successful horror privileges in all ages. The series contains what you can think about in two levels: there are major films, which focus on the bold paranormal investigators Ed and Lauren Warren, then there are transverse films, which focus on ghosts and ghouls that Warns faced (“comes at home”, better than cross films, also characterized by two bares in somewhat).

While the decisive reaction of the borrowed universe films was mixed, almost all entries found a box office success. What made this series have such a series? Why did we all continue to return again and again? This week, the main series concludes “Review: The last rituals,” A film described as the conclusion of the story of The Warrens, as played by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. I have doubts that this is the end of the end-there must be an accidental show or two who do not offer warriors (“Nun 3”, perhaps?) On the horizon. But frankly, I am not interested in that. Because for me, the secret of the success of the “Convalurt” concession was always Ed and Lauren.

Certainly these films have enjoyable concerns that make the masses jump in their seats and make us laugh nervously. And yes, everyone loves the villain of a creative movie such as Annabel, a creeping doll and the nun distribution. But none of these things does not matter much if the love that is not running between Ed and Lauren was not.

Before we go further, I need to treat the elephant in the room. Yes, Ed and Lauren Warren were real people who claimed they really faced the paranormal. However, their critics will refer to many evidence indicating that they were fraud and liars. There is also annoying The allegations that included Ed and a young woman who lived with warriors for a period of time. It is clear that all these details put somewhat of the inhibitors on things.

However, the warriors whom I love are completely imaginary warriors in which “borrowed” films turned into non -selfish heroes. I am completely satisfied with accepting that this is not TRUE Warns. In each of the main “coordinated” films, a simple formula is followed: the family is tortured by ghosts and/or demon, warriors are called for help, emotionally associated with the family, defeat the evil spirit, then return to the house and share a hug and a kiss in their kitchen. It works every time.

Directly from the jump, “The Conjuring” films did a great job in establishing the link between ED and Lorraine, and a lot of it returns to casting. Farmiga and Wilson have a clear chemistry with each other – we really buy in their relationship, and we really believe they love each other. “The most romantic moments that I went through on the screen with a horror movie,” Wilson said during questions and answers to the movie.Advance: Satan made me do soIn the same questions and answers, Farmiga added: “Lauren loves Ed not only for whom he is, but who is when she is with him. She is able to do what she is doing because she has its support. “

Warns are clearly different people, which also helps us to maintain interest in their relationship. They work as a unit, but each have a set of skills and character characteristics. Lauren is a member of the team with supernatural capabilities – has mysteriously identified psychological abilities that enable her to communicate with the dead. Ed, at the same time, is a type of prosthetic sects of the working class. A completely comfortable man in repairing the car engine as it is waving the Bible.

Every movie “Conversion” reinforced their association only and reminded the audience with romance. This, besides their non -selfish sincerity to help others, makes us care about the warriors, which in turn makes us care about all the frightening things that happen in these films. The “last rituals” only strengthen this element. The film contains some defects – it’s very long and tall. But it is also amazingly emotional, and he got this emotional angle by building it through a series of films and made us fall in love with Ed and Lauren. Not only does it end with everything about the association that Ed and Lauren shared, but also includes the love they shared for their daughter Judy (Mia Tomlinson). Judy also gets a supportive love story because she is involved, and eventually marries her boyfriend Tony (Ben Hardy).

These may look trivial, but important moments. These human elements that focus on love are what kept the “assadne” work well throughout this time. For this reason, when a transverse movie comes on Annabelle, it has lost somewhat attention-the warriors were not present to get their hands and reflect each other. All ghosts are good and good, but I need this romance.
