What makes this film different from the others is its relatively large budget and the fact it is part of the Conjuring universe, though connected only remotely. It is an adaptation of an old story from Mexican folklore that has seen many film adaptations.
This movie is cursed by not doing either, and so it becomes a redundant series of the same lame scares. 'The Curse of La Llorona' is a 2019 release, directed by Michael Chaves. Why even introduce a plot mechanic that involves limitations for your supernatural villain to simply cast it aside literally minutes later? If a horror movie is not going to go to the trouble of developing characters I care about, it better produce clever and effective suspense set pieces to generate that missing entertainment. The movie takes place in 1970s Los Angeles, and in a part of the city with a heavy Latinx presence. One minute later: one of the dumb kids breaks it to reach for her dumb doll. The trailer for The Curse of La Llorona gets into this backstory slightly. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm.
With Linda Cardellini, Roman Christou, Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen, Raymond Cruz.
The TV series Supernatural even included her in. The movie occasionally introduces a unique plot mechanic like the spirit not being able to cross a makeshift barrier as long as it stays unbroken. The Curse of La Llorona: Directed by Michael Chaves. There’s also the 1963 film La Maldicin de la Llorona ( The Curse of La Llorona ) and 2013’s Mama, from Andy Muschietti and Guillermo del Toro. The ghost story winds up being over an hour of the same jump scares over and over, the same high-pitched shrieks, the same door slams, the same overzealous film score, again and again. The main problem with Llorona is that it is so repetitive. When a social worker removes two children from an unstable. The Curse of La Llorona (safe bet the most mispronounced title of the year) has a connection to the priest from the first Annabelle movie, and it features a supernatural spirit, a ghostly woman in a wedding dress hunting for children to replace the ones that she murdered in spite centuries ago. An Annabelle/Conjuring spin-off, The Curse of La Llorona is a disappointing and mediocre ghost film. He Conjuring universe has gotten pretty big pretty quickly, but all it takes is one substandard spin-off to make you realize just how much craft and care are needed to make these things work right.
