The only thing keeping me up tonight is how studios greenlight this kind of nonsensical filmmaking, presumably costing millions of dollars to make no matter how ineffective.
I would've been upset if I'd wasted the 90 minutes on a plane (see The Nun) but I was mega upset to have chosen to watch this at home based on the fact it's in the Conjuring universe (ish) and is the modern retelling of a spooky age-old take.
For horror lovers this kind of trash is the ultimate offense. You'll probably be able to outline the obvious, cliched plot within the first six minutes, then predict each of the lousy jumps throughout.
In fairness the family do a good job of acting through this terrible film, and it's only their earnest performances and decent camerawork that earned the film 3 stars from me.
Can this PLEASE be made by the team who wrote & directed REC (Jaume Balaguero y Paco Plaza) so that we can really get a feel for the terror of la Llorona?

I've just watched this series on Netflix and whilst it's great film making and interesting subjects, this is essentially a rehash of a far superior documentary series on BBC called Life & Death Row.
Some of the crimes and subjects are already investigated in the BBC version (aired 2014), even certain shots and the soundtrack seem lifted from the original.
I am interested to understand how two shows can be made so similarly and why it hasn't been picked up by the IMDb faithful! Let me know your thoughts once you've caught up with the BBC version.

I watched all three seasons of this superbly underrated documentary when it first aired on the BBC. Each episode focuses on a different death row inmate and explores the complex lives of the families of victims and perpetrators.
This is a death row documentary with heart. Its by no means sensationalist, but is thought-provoking no matter what side of the capital punishment argument you side with.
I felt compelled to write this review as I'm currently watching I Am A Killer on Netflix, some of the subjects and even establishing shots and soundtrack are reused in this Netflix series.
I urge fans of the genre to first watch Life And Death Row as it is truly magnificent documentary-making.
