The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

Director: Michael Chaves

Starring: Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Patricia Velasquez

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.

‘The Curse of La Llorona’ doesn’t really offer anything we haven’t seen before. Despite that, this was still a creepy tale.

The film features very good cinematography, great visuals, good acting, and a few very scary moments. The acting from the entire cast was excellent, especially Linda Cardellini as Anna, the mother. The film reminded me a lot of ‘Mama’ and the Russian film ‘The Bride’. Staying within the Conjuring universe, this was not as good as ‘The Conjuring’ or even the ‘Annabelle’ films, but it certainly was much better than ‘The Nun’. It is well worth a watch if you’re into this genre.

‘The Curse of La Llorona’ was a huge box office success, earning $122 million on a $9 million budget.

Would I watch it again? With so many similar-themed movies out there, not likely.
