*The Conjuring: Last Rites* is going back to the beginning.

A new trailer for the movie revives a demon that's all too familiar to Ed and Lorraine as the big bad for their final big-screen outing.

The sneak peek shows Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga's characters investigating the Smurl haunting in the year 1986. In the midst of it Lorraine realizes the demon tormenting this Pennsylvania family is the same entity they encountered on their very first case as paranormal investigators.

Orion Smith and Madison Lawlor portray young Ed and Lorraine as the trailer takes us back to that event. "We were young, we were scared, we ran away," Farmiga's adult Lorraine says. "And after all these years, it wasn't done with our family."

More specifically, it seems the demon isn't done with Judy Warren (Mia Tomlinson), who is now a grown woman during the events of *The Conjuring: Last Rites*. The demon's hand can be seen retracting from her shoulder in a spooky scene, while Judy, dressed in a wedding dress, is attacked by her own sinister-looking reflection in a hall of mirrors.

"Lorraine's got this full-bar wifi of clairvoyance, and there's a bar or two that start popping up for Judy," Farmiga told ** in a first-look cover story earlier this year. "She's obviously inherited this spiritual sensitivity and, of course, it deepens Lorraine's concerns, not just as a mother, but as someone who really understands the burden of those sensibilities … Judy has been the quiet force right behind everything that Lorraine does. She's the light. She's the reason that Lorraine still fights when she feels like there's nothing left to give."

For the sake of the Smurls, the Warrens better banish this malevolence for good this time.

Rebecca Calder (*Wrath of Man*) and Elliot Cowan (*Foundation*) will appear as Janet and Jack Smurl, while their four daughters are played by Kíla Lord Cassidy (Heather), Beau Gadsdon (Dawn), Tilly Walker (Carin), and Molly Cartwright (Shannon). Peter Wight and Kate Fahy play Grandpa and Grandma Smurl.

"They're going to witness a moment in the Warrens' lives — and a pretty profound moment," Farmiga told EW, referring to the audience. "It's a moment that makes time stand still. This one's different than the others. The other three were about hauntings, and this one is about reckoning, in a way."

Directed by Michael Chaves, *The Conjuring: Last Rites* will open in theaters Sept. 5. Watch the trailer above.**
