A malevolent spirit bent on vengeance, stalks a young family visiting Mexico. Andrew, Carly and their son Danny travel to an isolated hacienda in Mexico for a much needed vacation. As they enter the town, signs showing missing children set an ominous tone. The family learns of the legend of "La Llorona," the evil spirit of a distraught mother who lurks near the water's edge and strikes fear in the hearts of all who see her. La Llorona torments the family mercilessly, snatching Danny and trapping him in a netherworld between the living and the dead. Aided by the resourceful taxi driver Jorge (Danny Trejo, Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) the family races to save their only child, navigating the foreboding countryside held by menacing cartel thugs. Gaining strength and power and leaving a path of death and destruction in her wake, La Llorona is seemingly unstoppable. But a secret from Carly's past may provide an opportunity to finally defeat the spirit.

The eponymous spiritual presence may never get a definitive replication expressed through film, hence considered a legend encrypted, but the scares are familiarly unsettling and mostly improbable through your ordinary subpar budgetary copy of a more decently frightening craft attempted via "The Conjuring" while mimicking dated supernatural manifestations.

I think the script was written by a computer that had no idea how human talked or behaved. Autumn Reeser deserves much better material.

You can see from camera, sound and especially bad special effects (night scenes were atrocious) this movie was cut on a really tight budget. And it didn't work because the rest of the movie wasn't carried by acting or a script.

[Trejo] and most of the rest of the cast deliver their lines with the flat, enthusiasm-free cadences of an ensemble cheesed off with the size of their paycheques and the quality of the catering.

A limp, alarmingly on-the-cheap horror production.

Everything's Interesting

It's got a repetitive script, laughable special effects, an over-reliance on jump scares, and wooden actors who don't bother trying to elevate what little is on the page. It also has Danny Trejo!

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This cheesy horror tale, which cashes in on a monster made famous in bigger-budget movies, glides confidently into the "so bad, it's good" realm, making ill-advised choices in nearly every capacity.

Rated: 1/5
