#The curse of la llorona poster movie
It is interesting to see a story about La Llorona, despite not mixing with the franchise very well.It messed up the folktale lore of La Llorona.Lackluster directing of Michael Chaves.Patricia Alvarez is a rather massive unlikable character as she blamed Anna for taking her sons and she had tried to stop the malevolent force of "La Llorona." at all, even through it wasn't Anna fault for taking her sons.The film tries to build up tension in some scenes but ends up being dull, and it's just ruined with a jump-scare.Plot hole: If La Llorona is a Mexican urban legend, what is she doing in 1970s Los Angeles? Just other than the main characters are Mexican in a Spanish name American city?.Speaking of which, much like Freddy in Freddy's Dead, she is given powers that are not present in the original legend.La Llorona's design is just a derivative of Valak from The Conjuring 2.If the boy didn't try to be nosy and go outside, he wouldn't have encountered La Llorona and none of this would've happened.We see La Llorona way too much to the point where she's not scary anymore.Poor acting at certain times, like child actors.The film is a jump scare-fest, which is the same problem from the previous film, The Nun.A very flat and formulaic plot that relies on clichés.
The story is heavily derivative of other films from the Conjuring Universe.Their only hope of surviving La Llorona's deadly wrath is a disillusioned priest who practices mysticism to keep evil at bay. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother, a social worker and her own kids are drawn into a frightening supernatural realm. In 1970s Los Angeles, the legendary ghost La Llorona is stalking the night - and the children.
