I loved this reimagining of the La Llorona. What human beings have done to other humans is truly the most horrifying thing imaginable. Haunting story (no pun intended).
Well made and thoughtful but like others mentioned a slow burn family drama with very few scares. If you know the folktale of La Llorona and expect a close retelling. This is not it
A massive slow-burn to the point where it is just a casual family drama kind of movie dealing with a serious issue. And yet it is still interesting enough to make the time go by quickly.
What a beautiful, fantastic and terrifying film! Amazing folk horror re-told perfectly. Can't wait to see Rita! Brilliant direction!
A beautiful and harrowing retelling of the popular legend.
