r96 s 'La Llorona' is too slow paced for my liking, it most certainly isn't a bad film though. I just couldn't lock on to what I was watching, every now and then it would hook me in but then I mostly detached again not long later. That's a shame, because there is goodness in this. It's more political drama than horror, not that the latter element is absent but I was anticipating more supernatural to this. That's mostly on me admittedly, probably not helped by the fact that I saw 'The Curse of La Llorona' (also 2019, curiously) last month; that is a more typical horror flick, which I (unlike most) liked fwiw. No-one truly stands out from the cast, though Sabrina De La Hoz, Margarita Kenéfic, María Mercedes Coroy and Julio Díaz do warrant fair praise. If we're talking merit, those behind the actors offscreen would deserve just as much as those front and centre; it is a well shot flick. for example. Not bad, just not good. In my eyes, of course. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Kyle M While most flicks would depict the La Llorona tale as a jolty, nonsensical conduit for “scares”, the approach here seems more reverent and proper, weaving through political contexts in punishing one for his sins in a psychological matter. However, it was unfortunately misleading when setting up fearful expectations only to find this comparably bland albeit very few minor kicks. (B-) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Alec B Its a little obvious but at least that leads to a certain admirable bluntness to the narrative. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Hugo S A former dictator is accused of the brutal genocide of a native community during the Guatemalan Civil War. During trial, the retired general lives with his family in seclusion, while the protestants manifest outside their mansion. "La Llorona" is a psychological drama focused on a family tormented by the sins of the past. A social analysis of a country's bloody past. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Markus S It's like these typical pretencious new exorcism movies that try to find a new way to jumpscare the fuck out of you every X minutes, and make people terrified for the haunting atmosphere they're in. In here, it gets repetitive, you know that the ghost comes everytime there's no music, it's perfectly predictable, but still, it succeeded to entertain me, at least. 6/10.
