The Final End - The Conjuring: Last Rites
The horror franchise that had moviegoers watching behind their fingers but on the edge of their seats. The Conjuring quartet released its final installment this year, and it did not disappoint.

Her life in the peripheral neighbourhoods of Bogotá, riddled with hardships, leaves her with no time or space. Until she meets Juan, a young man who seems to open up another world for her. But her relationship with a stranger is not welcomed by those who control the neighborhood.

Gretel & Hansel falters due to its razor thin story and lack of characterization. It loses sight of horror’s key rule: In order to create an effective tale, characters and emotions must be emphasized.
