Critics Consensus

Content to coast on jump scares rather than tap into its story's creepy potential, The Curse of La Llorona arrives in theaters already broken.

Muy cobarde Warner por considerar que esta película forma parte del universo de El Conjuro con tal de generar ganacias, lo logró, pero dejo una mancha muy grande en esta franquicia.

From the very beginning, the Curse of La Jorona caused me negative emotions, but to be so stupid, tedious and absurd. I didn't expect this, is it worse than Annabelle? No. Is it worse than a Nun? Yes. It's not fresh

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Expertly crafted thrills and jump scares do not compensate for a complete lack of story and context for why the insidious spirit exists or how the exorcist who believes in 'God not religion' knows more about the plot than we do.

Honestly I enjoyed it - it was very much your stereotypical demon/ghost horror movie which is kinda like my comfort films. Particularly because I had just finished watching "Speak No Evil" which was just….. ugh, yeah. Dark n twisted and draining that this was like my nice fluff film to put on afterwards - a predictable demon film, you knew where it was going, you knew what would happen but still had decent jump scares, a good lore, good actors and somewhat decent SFX. I'd probably mindlessly watch it again and would recommend to any horror fanatic who just wants a "lighter" film, or to any who aren't horror fans - this is exactly the type of film I'd recommend to a beginner

The performances are good, but I wanted more complexity for the original folk tale of La Llorona.

I was so bored, and so depressed by the mechanics of it.

A formulaic slab of supernatural dirge destined to be forgotten by year's, or perhaps even month's, end.

Rated: 2/5

It’s not nearly as horrible as The Nun, and honestly, that’s a good compliment for such a typical, cliche horror flick. Michael Chaves truly saves what could have been a disaster with another director.

Keith & the Movies

“La Llorona” gets off on the right foot and Cardellini does what she can. But it’s yet another Conjuring installment built on a promising idea but with execution that feels all too familiar.

Rated: 2.5/5
