Chris Knight: Director Michael Chaves, making his big-screen debut, is content to repeat the same fright formula over and over again in this movie
Some horror films, like last year’s Hereditary, are flat-out horrifying. Others, such as the recent Halloween or Pet Sematary reboots, are legitimately frightening. The Curse of La Llorona – pronounced “La Yurona,” it means “the weeping woman” – is neither of these. The best you could say is it’s startling.
The movie is marketing as being “part of the Conjuring universe,” a loose series that includes two Conjuring movies , two more featuring a creepy doll, and last year’s The Nun. The plot? If I must. After a brief prelude in “Mexico 1673” we move to “Los Angeles 1973” and meet social worker Anna . She pays a visit to another single mother whose two children may be in danger; at the very least, their home has about 250 too many candles in it.
