Sinopsis(1)
La Llorona es una aparición aterradora. Está atrapada entre el Cielo y el Infierno en un destino terrible que ha sellado de su propia mano. Desde hace generaciones, la mera mención de su nombre causa terror en todo el mundo. En vida, ahogó a sus propios hijos en un ataque de celos y se tiró al río después de ellos, mientras se retorcía de dolor. Ahora sus lágrimas son eternas. Son letales y los que oyen su llamada de muerte en la noche están condenados. La Llorona se arrastra en las sombras y acecha a los niños, en un intento desesperado de reemplazar a los suyos. Con el paso de los siglos, su deseo se ha vuelto más voraz... y sus métodos más terroríficos. En la década de 1970 en Los Ángeles, La Llorona acecha a los niños en la oscuridad de la noche. Haciendo caso omiso de la extraña advertencia de una madre problemática sospechosa de poner en peligro a un niño, una trabajadora social y sus hijos pequeños no tardan en verse arrastrados a un siniestro reino sobrenatural. Su única esperanza de sobrevivir a la ira mortal de La Llorona podría ser un sacerdote desencantado y el misticismo que practica para mantener a raya al mal, en el límite de la fe y el miedo. Tened cuidado con su escalofriante lamento... ella no se detendrá ante nada para atraeros a la oscuridad. Porque no hay paz para su angustia. No hay piedad para su alma. Y nada ni nadie escapa a la maldición de La Llorona. (Warner Bros. España)

Reseñas (6)
Un fiasco de género que, como Annabelle: Creation, ataca al espectador amenazando a los niños. Como ocurre con las películas de terror tópicas y sin rostro, intenta ahogar la inventiva y la lógica agujereada del guión con un diseño de sonido ruidoso y unos valores de producción decentes (léase: sonido intenso y buen aspecto). Es decir, nada por lo que se pueda recordar la película dentro de unos años. No hay ninguna conexión con el universo de Expediente Warren: The Conjuring.

The anticipated La Llorona is ultimately a big disappointment and The Conjuring 3 is in great danger. Debutant Michael Chaves directs a dull and overly sterile horror film that could have at least leaned on interesting Mexican folklore, but even on that level it fails to impress. The big problem I see is that la Llorona only really focuses on the two central kids, but if it had focused on the other kids in town, more interesting things could have happened. As it is, the plot isn't very entertaining and the actual scares, rather than startling, will wake you from your microsleep. It lacks atmosphere, stronger drive, better pacing and more interesting characters, instead we get a many times seen and tedious mainstream horror hell. A class below The Nun and actually the weakest installment of the Conjuring Universe. The film will please at most teenage girls who go to the cinema to hang out. The best part of the whole movie was the fact that I got it for free. 40%

Making horror movies of this type is probably already in every handbook on how to get instantly rich without making exorbitant demands on yourself. Investing a few shiny millions in a simple scare is now almost a 100% guarantee of many times the earnings, so for obvious reasons it doesn't motivate much of anyone to push the creative limits just a little bit further again. Some weasel here has still got a great business plan to milk it out of the Latino audience, (veeeery) loosely tie it to, for some reason, the successful Annabelle franchise, and fill theaters to the ceiling with people who must really not care anymore. It's really exhausting at times to watch the adaptation of a script whose speed of writing must have been limited only by the speed of typing on the keyboard. The main victims of this are of course the characters, who are either useless, stupid, constantly changing their motivations, or simply funny. Behind them trails a central windbag whose abilities are completely random and basically just for effect. One moment she appears in a window, then she's only visible through an umbrella, then suddenly from the curtains, then out of a tablecloth... halfway through the film, I'm prepared for her to pop out of someone's ear at any moment. And honestly, that was the only thing that could help the film to be average. But it didn't. Oops, spoiler.

Nothing new under the Sun. A well-done routine. If you are looking forward to this, you won’t be disappointed. The only thing that might make you do a double-take is the Hispanic way of doing exorcism, which is sometimes very different from what we usually see.

Already when I started watching the film, it was clear to me that I couldn’t expect anything groundbreaking. The greater was my surprise at how enjoyable it was. The authors managed to create a decent atmosphere, they didn't just rely on stupid jump scares (even though they were impossible to avoid) and they added a good dose of suspense. Plus, there were two boogeymen to fight against: an undead Mexican and the American social services, and that's quite a challenge.
