\”Where I'm from, this was marketed as _The Curse of the Weeping Woman_ 'cause I guess Australia can't be trusted with to pronounce a Spanish word. Similarly, I guess Warner Bros. can't be trusted to make a horror movie without cramming it into the bloated _Conjuring_ franchise. I love seeing Linda Cardellini get work, but I don't know that a La Llorona movie was the best choice to put her in lead of, and I do know that **this** La Llorona movie was a bad choice, just like... Generally speaking. "Bad" might be too far. Bland? Old hat? Something along those lines might be a label that fits a little better. Definitely not the label "good" though. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._”

\”Acting was fine but the rest was one big cliche of the supernatural-horror genre with too many jump scares and the evil entity pretty much reminded me of the Nun, which makes sense since this is set in the Conjuring Universe.”

\”'The Curse of La Llorona' entertained me! First and foremost, the La Llorona demon is exactly what I wanted 'The Nun' to be - creepy without words, a perfect mix. The filmmakers utilise the character nicely, as well as importantly setting the right tone. Not to quote Gloria Stuart, but it feels like forever since I've enjoyed a movie from this franchise - and this isn't even an 'official' part of 'The Conjuring' universe (which probably explains why it's actually good - harsh, yet true). That's not to say it's amazingly made, e.g. there is some iffy writing; that part near the end with the doll is rather dumb, if ignorable. Linda Cardellini brings a very good performance, while Raymond Cruz is a neat piece of casting. Roman Christou and Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen make for solid kid actors, too. Tony Amendola appears as Father Perez, but remember it's absolutely not a part of the franchise... The bad reception that this has got is a shame, not that it changes the way I see it. A perfect example of why it's good to form your own opinions with film, because apparently 'The Conjuring 2' is good but this is bad - the opposite is true for me. Me and this franchise don't click correctly, evidently.”
