Featured reviews
This movies soul purpose is to get teenagers into the cinema in the summer. It is a cash grab.
It's super basic. It is like a Mad Lib horror movie. Like "lady goes to church to see priest to learn about ______" "sound should drop out and then _____ should appear behind main character". It's really paint by numbers. Like you could fill them sentences in with so many different horror movie 'monsters/ghosts'.
I really like Linda Cardellini, she was fine in this nothing great.
I don't know if you were board with friends you could put this on but I'd just watch something better.

"The Curse of La Llorona" is a horror film with beautiful cinematography and atmosphere. The cast is not bad and the effects are also good. Unfortunately, the story is absolutely unoriginal, indeed a great collection of clichés. The film gives the sensation of Deja vu and the viewer feels that he or she has already seen it all before, frustrating those with expectation of watching a creepy horror movie. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "A Maldição da Chorona" ("The Curse of the Weeping Woman")

I actually ended up falling asleep it's shame how unscary this movie portrays the weeping woman. What a waste of my time but at least I caught up on sleep.
It has a boring atmosphere and it doesn't scare you. The nun was better. At least it's 3 good jumpscares
The legend of La Llorona is a very interesting story that had potential to become a good movie. Unfortunately, this one suffered from showing the monster too much.
The plot wasn't bad. It would have been more interesting if they showed more of how the legend started, but they had a good idea to go with. What really didn't work for this movie was showing La Llorona too many times, to the point that she wasn't scary. What's always creepy in movies like this is not being able to see their face until the very end, which they had a perfect scene to show her, but by then it was too late.
If you like the Conjuring universe/horror movies, it's a fun watch, just don't expect anything special.
