2.5/5
The film's top-notch credentials, which includes producer James Wan (Aquaman, 2018), do not rescue it from sinking into predictability. Go to Full Review

A mid-strength horror movie where the filler outranks the killer throughout... Go to Full Review

04/18/2019 Going for the movie, I had no expectations from it. The horror genre is deprived of any good movies in the recent years. This movie sadly couldn't do much to change that. The Weeping Woman is a run of the mill movie, using the same formulaic for shadowing, build up, and jump scare. Even those didn't seem to do the trick after they used virtually the same build up over and over again. Two things I liked: one scene during the end when LA Llorona's real face is revealed. It wasn't unique to this film, but I felt the scene was good. And lastly, it was nice to see a familiar face; Lisa from Freaks And Geeks (now more like, Lisa from Shrieks and Geeks). Overall, the movie is digestible if you want to do more than sulking in your room for 1 hour and 33 minutes.

I found the story interesting and well told, though it left a few plot threads dangling in the end. The acting was good but certainly not Oscar-worthy. A decent film, if not anything really outstanding.

This is a good ghost story. The acting and direction are fantastic. If you are a fan of the genre, definitely see this movie. See more 05/21/2008 hacer cine en latinoamerica requiere un esfuerzo titanico. la leyenda de la llorona es un topico muy atrayente, se pudo hacer algo mucho mas creible y nutrido. aun asi se aplaude al cast latino y el no tener que ver siempre Desnudos ,pobreza y Violencia extrema en cada pelicula hispana que se estrena como si fuese lo unico que se puede ofrecer. hay imaginacion! pero darle mas consistencia es necesario.
