Review by alserrano

A common denominator in most of the Shudder movies is that the colours are always amazing, that there is good directing and good casting and that they barely have anything to tell. La Llorona is much better than the Blumhouse one, of course, and its tale where the real horrors intersect with the mythical ones is cool. And the set design is incredible. And the casting does a wonderful job.

But there is barely any character work or any narrative that deserved more than 45 minutes here. I am ok with long shots, but if they appear in the context of some more standard narrative, or if they are used for something else than fill up time. So, a beautiful package, but not that much inside and way less deep it pretends to be.
