The Legend of La Llorona

This version is worse than the one in the theaters from 2019. Compared to this one, that one is a masterpiece. A 6.5 at best for the 2019 version.

The movie is a low budget effort with almost no serious special effects. Half the time the Llorona is a white robe moving in the water here and there.

The side story of a couple having lost a child feels forced and fake.

The writing is uninspired and the scenes seldom interesting.

No scary jump scares.

I suspected it was going to be a sad effort when I saw my boy Machete was in the movie. He actually is in it until the end. I have a soft spot for home boy but his movies seldom win oscars.

The only part I like is the credits song La llorona by Carmen Goett. Great song.

Crying shame. The actors actually were decent too. But had no serious material to work with.

I was hoping for good things from this Film, but was left very disappointed. The acting came across as wooden and emotionless - almost acting by numbers! The dialogue at times was totally at odds with the scene being acted, the plot had holes in it, and there is then a real leap in the story/background to reveal the twist which was pretty evident right from the beginning of the film. Just very disappointing.

The acting is really not good, and the whole story pointless.

Apart for the name which is similar to a more famous movie, there is nothing here worth watching.

Who made this terrible movie? Acting was atrocious. The main woman was so selfish and unbelievable. Story was terrible. Don't give it your time. The Mexican characters were all caricatures. The weeping woman was ridiculous and not scary.

Poor acting. Amateur actors. Cheesy script. Standard special effects. Screams, wailing, etc. I just wanted to find out more about La Llorona or The Weeping Lady. All I got was this. A waste of time.
