The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a different breed of horror, but is still just as beautiful and engaging.
Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren try to uncover the truth behind a murderer’s claim of demonic possession.
We discuss the trend (and often, shortcomings) of truth-based horror, e.g. taking a folktale like La Llorona and making a horror film based around it.
With horror movie clichés lurking around every corner and a script that’s difficult to digest, The Curse of La Llorona will likely meet the void where bad horror flicks go to be forgotten.
The Curse of La Llorona is not original enough to stand on its own, relying too intently on jumpscares and with not enough focus on the characters around them.
