Annabelle 4: The Ritual (2026)
Starring: Taissa Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Madison Iseman
Quote: “A prayer is just an invitation… and she never cares who sent it.”

Synopsis:
When a viral TikTok “summoning challenge” uses pages leaked from the Warrens’ forbidden case files, a group of American students travels to a crumbling Romanian monastery to perform The Ritual of the Twelve Knocks live online. Among them is Claire (Madison Iseman), whose secret: she stole Annabelle’s cracked glass case from a storage vault.

The moment the hammer falls, Wi‑Fi dies, doors seal, and the monastery’s ancient bells begin ringing on their own. As ghostly monks march, walls bleed Latin, and each student disappears into their own tailor‑made nightmare, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and Ed Warren’s protégé (Patrick Wilson) race through catacombs where every chant feeds the doll. To survive till dawn, they must finish the ritual—not to summon a demon, but to bind the one that’s already here.

Review: A vicious, atmospheric sequel that fuses social‑media horror with classic Conjuring dread, delivering slow‑burn tension and brutal, occult payoffs.
