Even though the fourth film in the franchise, if you look at it chronologically, Annabelle Creation is the second movie in the Conjuring franchise that introduced us to the origin of the central character of Anabelle in this franchise. Annabelle Creations takes us to the year 1955. The story revolves around a group of children and a Nun who is taken in by a man who is a dollmaker and his wife. However, one of the kids opens a forbidden room and finds a seemingly harmless doll that turns out to be evil incarnate.
3.The Nun 2 (2023)

While the story of this movie picks up right after the first movie, The Nun 2 is the third movie in the Conjuring franchise if you look at it in chronological order. The Nun 2 falls third in the Conjuring movies’ watch order. This movie takes us to the year 1956, when a priest is brutally murdered. Sister Irene, after her first encounters with Valak, comes to know about this and starts investigating the murder, only to discover that the demonic nun has risen again.

Anabelle is the second movie that came out of the Conjuring universe and is set in the year 1967. This movie takes us 12 years after the events we saw in Anabelle: Creation, where a doctor and his wife bring home this creepy-looking doll to add to their collection. However, as soon as they bring that doll home, strange occurrences start taking place, putting everything and everyone in danger.
5.The Conjuring (2013)

This was the movie that started it all for the Conjuring franchise, and everything else in the Conjuring franchise is either a sequel, a prequel, or a spinoff. The Conjuring brought us Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as real-life paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren coming to the rescue of the Perron family. Set in the year 1971, The Conjuring became the third blockbuster horror franchise directed by James Wan.
6.Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

After the events we witnessed in Conjuring, Anabelle Comes Home is a direct continuation of what happens after it. Set in the year 1972, to make sure the wicked doll could not cause any more damage, Lorraine and Ed Warren locked up the doll in their artifact room. However, while the couple has to go away for some time, Annabelle awakens all the demonic artifacts in their collection, turning the night into a fight for survival for their young daughter, her friends, and their babysitter.
7.The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

A spinoff of the Conjuring universe, The Curse of La Llorona is based on a popular Latin American folklore. This movie takes us to 1973, where a mother is trying her best to save her children while a wicked spirit wants to take them away with her. The Curse of La Llorona is not really connected to the Conjuring universe a lot, and the only thing connecting it to the franchise is the presence of Tony Amendola’s Father Perez from Annabelle.
8.The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Image Credit: New Line Cinema (via Amazon)
The Conjuring movie is set in 1971 and is based on the Enfield Poltergeist cases in England, where Lorraine and Ed Warren help a family get rid of an evil spirit, who is none other than The Nun. This movie is the first time the demonic nun Valak was introduced in the Conjuring franchise, and later, multiple prequels were released featuring the Nun as well.
9.The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

The final movie in the chronological order of watching The Conjuring movies is The Devil Made Me Do It. This movie is set in the 80s and brings us the real-life story of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, who went on trial for her landlord’s murder. However, she claimed that a demon possessed her, and with this statement, Lorraine and Ed Warren started investigating this case. They suspect that the demon they exorcised from a young boy has now taken over Arne.
10.The Conjuring: Last Rites(2025)
Image Credit: New Line Cinema (via Amazon)
The Conjuring: Last Rites is shaping up to be the chilling curtain call for one of horror’s most iconic sagas. Directed by Michael Chaves, the film once again brings Ed and Lorraine Warren into the heart of a supernatural case, which is also the most dangerous case they have faced yet. This time, the Warrens are drawn into a haunting that tests not only their bond but their very belief in what they’ve always fought for.
Last Rites is said to be the final chapter in the mainline Conjuring series, and promises not just bone-deep scares but also an emotional farewell to characters who’ve defined modern horror for over a decade. The movie is performing exceptionally well at the box office with an opening collection of $194 million worldwide in the initial two days of the release.

- Release Date: November 7, 2025

- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5/ 85%
Netflix’s Frankenstein is one of the best screen adaptations of the 1818 classic novel. Do you think you know the movie’s story? Well, you might be proved wrong. Frankenstein was Guillermo del Toro’s dream project, so he crafted a brilliant story based on the original. Well, the best part of his vision was that he didn’t make the creature seem like a mere horror; instead, he allowed us to see the creature’s human side.
Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, who is fascinated with death. So, he creates a creature using the body parts of the corpses. However, after the creature comes to life, Victor becomes frustrated with its appearance and the way it speaks and moves. He abandons him, but the creature, unable to accept rejection, follows Victor to seek answers.
2. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5/ 93%
A Knives Out Mystery film never disappoints, and Wake Up Dead Man raised everyone’s expectations from the franchise even more. Unlike the previous instalments, this one comes with a more serious and intriguing plot. On top of everything, Daniel Craig’s Blanc has evolved more than ever and appears as a fully realised detective in Wake Up Dead Man.
The story of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery kicks off with the murder of a religious leader in a small upstate New York church. A troubled priest of the church becomes the prime suspect, but when Blanc enters the picture, he instantly realises there is more beneath the surface that has not yet come to light.

- Release Date: June 20, 2025
- Director: Maggie Kang, Chris Appelhans
- Cast: Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, Lee Byung-hun
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5/ 95%
KPop Demon Hunters arrived on Netflix in June 2025 and, within days, garnered a huge fanbase for its stylish animation and top-notch visuals. Instead of just being a parody of KPop, it features behind-the-scenes, idol training, stage personas, and everything in the most subtle way. Above all, we also see the lead protagonists dealing with the supernatural while maintaining their normal lives.
Kpop Demon Hunters follow a girl group, who are Kpop idols during the day and trained demon hunters at night. They have taken on the responsibility of protecting the human world from the demonic threats that emerge from time to time. So, basically, when on stage, they are not only performing for their audience, but they are also creating an energy with their music that weakens the demons, keeping their fans safe.
4. Bring Her Back

- Release Date: May 29, 2025
- Director: Danny Philippou, Michael Philippou
- Cast: Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally Hawkins
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.1/ 89%
Bring Her Back is one of those horror movies that depends on cheap jump scares. Instead, it makes the horror feel personal wth the unsettling setting and the uneasy silences. Besides that, it features a slow-burning story that rewards those who unapologetically stick to it until the very end.
Andy and Piper are placed in the care of a foster mother, Laura, after the death of their father. As the story moves forward, Laura is seen desperate to bring her dead daughter back to life. So, she decides to use blind Piper as a vessel.
5. Counterattack

- Release Date: February 28, 2025
- Director: Chava Cartas
- Cast: Luis Alberti, Noe Hernandez, Leonardo Alonso, Luis Curiel, David Leon, Guillermo Nava
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 6/ 69%
There are rare movies out there that skip the over-explaining part and put the focus entirely on the central point, and Counterattack is one among those golden gems in existence. It is a Mexican movie that jumps straight into the action and follows a tight script throughout, without feeling rushed at any point. If you enjoy action films, this one is perfectly suitable for you.
The movie follows Captain Armando Guerrero, the lead officer of a Mexican special unit tasked with carrying out a routine operation. However, unknowingly, they cross paths and come in the way of a brutal drug cartel, and become their targets.
