Muddled and pointless Curse of a Bride to be that Drowns her own children ,then spends eternity stealing children to replace her drowned children ,but Drowns them. WHY?
Film has a very weak story , Tenuously linked to the Conjuring Universe via one character not even in the main story but a cameo .
Could have slipped him into any number of Movies just to connect it to the Conjuring. Talk about Desperate .
Characters ,that in my mind Deserve everything they get by Doing Everything they are told NOT to do at every turn.
An OK Watch but really ,Don't Expect Much. the earlier movie 'Mama' did it better .
Last year there were a superb half-dozen or so horror films that were really scary. This year's crop has yet to impress me once. La Llorona had me reaching for the remote after just five minutes. FF for a while before switching off before the end. Rubbish.
Like many a horror film, there is a good hook but beyond that the ideas run out. The Curse of La Llorona has an interesting idea of a spectre looking to replace the children she murdered 300 years earlier. Not much makes sense after that - why is it set in 1973 other than to set it alongside other films in the CONJURING universe. Its full of tired jump scares, rote performances, cack CGI, lame acting, and redundant scenes of hide and seek in gloomy rooms. There's nothing new or innovative beyond the backstory in this factory line ghost flick.
Not scary.
