Breaking Bad alum Raymond Cruz plays the wise exorcist who sometimes comes with jokes (but all the jokes feels awkward because they don’t fit the character). Marisol Ramirez likewise does what she can with her role and is solid for what she is given. She says a lot with her eyes, but it isn’t enough to fix the shallow script. While she is good in her role, the role lacks depth or the storytelling she needs to make the character compelling. Linda Cardellini is always a bit underrated, but I feel that this underrating is because she gets projects like this. Bottom line is, the story goes where you expect it to go and there are little surprises or original moments.
It almost felt that aspects of the story should have been dropped and other areas expanded upon if they weren’t going to fully explore them. You can see the pitfalls forming around Anna (aka getting accused of abuse, etc.), but many of the plot points fail to full develop (like the abuse storyline). It feels like the ghost story of La Llorona (a Mexican folk tale) is more interesting than the 1970s part of the story. The Curse of La Llorona has probably more bad than good, but still provides a couple of (obvious) jumps.įor being so old she does a decent job of keeping her whites white The Conjuring had its moments, and all of the films in the “Conjuring Universe” have had parts that good mixed with bad. Following The Nun in 2018, the movie premiered in March at South by Southwest and was later released in April. Anna quickly realizes that Patricia’s fears might not have been unfounded, and now, Anna must save her children from the curse of La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez).ĭirected by Michael Chaves, The Curse of La Llorona is a supernatural horror film that is part of The Conjuring “universe”. Now, Anna’s own children Chris (Roman Christou) and Samantha (Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen) seem to be the target of something supernatural. When the children die under mysterious circumstances in protective services, Anna finds Patricia blames her for her children’s deaths. Widowed social worker Anna (Linda Cardellini) discovers one of her cases named Patricia Alvarez (Patricia Velasquez) has locked her children in a closet. I wonder if you can get candles from a dollar store when doing a ritual…or if the ghosts care (and I bet it is frustrating when they get there early and blow them out)
