The trailer opens with a glimpse into the Warren family house as we look through all the cursed artifacts the family has collected over the years. A voiceover introduces this as the Warrens’ final case, a warning cloaked in weariness. Lorraine’s voice cuts through with a chilling line:
“Something’s changed. Something’s different.”
There are jump scares, demonic incidents, and exorcisms. In the final act of the trailer, they are faced with a sinister being who tells them,
“We’ve been waiting so patiently for you.”
The trailer does raise the stakes on all of their previous cases, and all the visuals tell us that fans will be in for a dark, eerie, and haunting treat.
