La Llorona (the Crying Woman, the Weeping Woman, the Wailer) is a vengeful ghost in Mexican folklore who is said to roam near bodies of water, mourning her children whom she drowned in a jealous rage after discovering her husband was unfaithful to her.
Whoever hears her crying either suffers misfortune or death, and their life becomes unsuccessful in every field.
So, now that you know the backstory of the La Llorona legend, let's dive into this fresh take!
As someone who doesn't necessarily enjoy Horror, I gotta say, this film is more of a revenge film than anything else, and boy, does it go there (you'll see!).
One thing that I always appreciate with these newer takes on legends is that the Directors stray from the path a bit and allow their take, but still stick to the origin in some way or another.
Lastly, the cast is destined to appear in more features, as they are all young and seem hungry to continue their acting careers.
8/10.

*I watched El Regreso de La Llorona via Tubi.
This isn't a horror film but a haunting of revenge stemming from the folklore legend of La Llorona, aka The Weeping Woman.
There is an element of horror in El Regreso de La Llorona, however, I feel that a lot of the "negative" reviews were expecting a straightforward horror movie, which, I think this film offers so much more than that (a remarkable plot for starters).
This is a subtle folk tale and one that some might find to be a slow-burn. The horror lies not in the actions of the dead, but in the injustice of the living.
Seek this out if you are looking for a solid entry to the folklore of La Llorona!

Yes, I know that the original quote is "you reap what you sow"; however, Liana Hassim's film El Regreso de La Llorona is loosely based on the folklore legend of La Llorona, otherwise known as "The Weeping Woman."
El Regreso de La Llorona starts off with a bang (literally), and I must warn those sensitive viewers that the first five-seven minutes are quite intense, but don't worry, it all pays off!
The best way for me to summarize El Regreso de La Llorona without giving anything away is an enjoyable thriller/horror that invokes a tale of revenge intertwined with a modern spin on Mexican folklore.
It's one of those films where you might despise some of the characters (the actors are great, btw); however, vengeance has a great way of showing its face in this film, and sometimes it even pops up in a "Final Destination" type of way.
Check this indie horror out if you're looking for something new, and honestly, something outside of your norm.

"El Regreso de La Llorona is a real horror movie, not a stupid slasher flick."
The way that they used the idea of La Llorona to explore that experience, and the experience to explore the story of La Llorona, is the true purpose of art.
I don't know what else to call this movie, but "horror" is just too small a word for it.
El Regreso de La Llorona focuses more on the terrors and acts of atrocity that humans are perfectly capable of without the help of supernatural evil.
Our greatest fears are those that we create ourselves. In this case, La Llorona is a vengeful consequence born from the darkest depths of sadness and loss.

Liana Hassim's "El Regreso de La Llorona" is a fresh take on the La Llorona legend, a vengeful ghost from Mexican folklore that is said to wander near bodies of water.
The legend of La Llorona is often told to warn children to stay away from dangerous waterways, which, similar to other folktales, can truly be scarier than anything in "real life".
To be completely transparent, I assumed that El Regreso de La Llorona was another low-budget horror entry on Tubi, but was pleasantly surprised with the creative twist on the legend, and a fresh cast of up-and-comers.
The film has vibes of the 2006 film Turistas, in addition to callbacks to historically famous "Folk Horror" films.
Next time you're on Tubi, I highly recommend checking this one out!
