La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand. The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations. In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain. Now her tears are eternal. They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed. La Llorona creeps in the shadows andLa Llorona. The Weeping Woman. A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand. The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations. In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain. Now her tears are eternal. They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed. La Llorona creeps in the shadows and preys on the children, desperate to replace her own. As the centuries have passed, her desire has grown more voracious…and her methods more terrifying. In 1970s Los Angeles, La Llorona is stalking the night—and the children. 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. Their only hope to survive La Llorona’s deadly wrath may be a disillusioned priest and the mysticism he practices to keep evil at bay, on the fringes where fear and faith collide. Beware of her chilling wail…she will stop at nothing to lure you into the gloom. Because there is no peace for her anguish. There is no mercy for her soul. And there is no escape from the curse of La Llorona.… Expand

"The bottom line for every horror tale is the same. Does it chill, get those hairs on the back of your neck to stand up? Is it satisfying, in either a righteous or abandon-all-hope climax? Don’t cry for “La Llorona.” She gets a wet, dirty job done." ... Read full review

"It isn’t to say that The Curse of La Llorona is bad; it definitely had the crowd I watched it with screaming in horrified delight and laughing at just the right moments. But it lacks any cultural understanding of its subject and is a missed opportunity to connect to the plethora of ghost stories the Latino culture contains in its soul. Que pena!" ... Read full review

Empire
Ian Freer | May 1, 2019
"Seemingly wishing to start another Conjuring off-shoot, this will be lucky to get out the gate. Without an original or fresh bone in its body, The Curse Of La Llorona smacks of unelevated horror for the very easily scared, not to mention pleased." ... Read full review

Jenny Nulf | Apr 17, 2019
"A cheap attempt to re-create the spark that has made the "Conjuring" franchise so lucrative. It’s pathetic, and both horror fans and the Latinx community deserve more respect than this lazy attempt at a cash grab. A decent performance from Linda Cardellini doesn’t save a film loaded with predictable jump scares and weak mythos building. " ... Read full review

Sara Stewart | Apr 16, 2019
"The movie’s one saving grace — so to speak — is Raymond Cruz (Tuco from “Better Call Saul”) as a priest turned shaman. He, at least, injects a little wry humor into a film that otherwise bored me to tears." ... Read full review

It was a bit slow at first, but once it got going, it moved along very well. La Llorona herself was fairly good as “monsters” go, and the cast was very good, including the children. Not great or original, but not terrible either.… Expand

Its somehow both so checked out and so overly invested. It kind of reminds of The Room in a way. This is a really disappointingly awful entry into The Conjuring Cinematic Universe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst "horror" movies I've ever seen. I went into the cinema expecting a regular but funny movie, but ended up bored and even mad of how much I felt scammed by it. Full of jumpscares without any sense, a ghost that has no rules at all, which sometimes it's like a god and can do whatever she pleases, and sometimes it's less powerfull than the people she's trying to... I'm not completely sure what she wants because this movie doesn't even bother to explain you anything, only tries to make you jump over your seat and think: Oh my god what am I watching.… Expand
