A Vingança da Chorona

This was the worst thing I have ever watched. Their acting is so bad and their special effects are barely there. I seriously regret watching this movie. It's not even scary. They add the scary instrumental music but it's not scary.

Who made this terrible movie? Acting was atrocious. The main woman was so selfish and unbelievable. Story was terrible. Don't give it your time. The Mexican characters were all caricatures. The weeping woman was ridiculous and not scary.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "The Legend of La Llorona" from writers Cameron Larson and Jose Prendes, I must admit that I wasn't harboring much of any high hopes given the movie's fairly low rating here on IMDb. And also the reviews weren't particularly favorable. But it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.

Now, it should be noted that having Danny Trejo on the cast list wasn't exactly something that lured me in to watching "The Legend of La Llorona". He is a so-so actor for certain movies and genres, but not one that I go out of my way to get to watch his movies.

Director Patricia Harris Seeley didn't really impress me much with the 2022 horror movie "The Legend of La Llorona". Sure, it was watchable, but it wasn't particularly scary. Nor was the movie outstanding, memorable or impressive in any way. So I would say that "The Legend of La Llorona" is good for a single viewing, and that is about all it had to offer. This was actually a rather bland and forgettable movie experience.

The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, most noticeably were Autumn Reeser (playing Carly) and Angélica Lara (playing Veronica).

Visually then "The Legend of La Llorona" was adequate. It wasn't a visually impressive movie, nor was it one of those eyesore movies with bad effects. I will say that the visual effects and make-up team did adequate jobs here.

"The Legend of La Llorona" is a movie that you watch once and never again.

My rating of "The Legend of La Llorona" lands on a three out of ten stars.

The best movie to sleep ever. I watch it every night. Very bad acting and a poor drama around the plot. The scene where the drug dealers use their machine guns, to keep La Llorona away from them; it is ridiculous.

This version is worse than the one in the theaters from 2019. Compared to this one, that one is a masterpiece. A 6.5 at best for the 2019 version.

The movie is a low budget effort with almost no serious special effects. Half the time the Llorona is a white robe moving in the water here and there.

The side story of a couple having lost a child feels forced and fake.

The writing is uninspired and the scenes seldom interesting.

No scary jump scares.

I suspected it was going to be a sad effort when I saw my boy Machete was in the movie. He actually is in it until the end. I have a soft spot for home boy but his movies seldom win oscars.

The only part I like is the credits song La llorona by Carmen Goett. Great song.

Crying shame. The actors actually were decent too. But had no serious material to work with.
