An early horror classic drawn from Mexico's rich tradition of folklore, 'La Llorona' recounts the chilling tale of the 'wailing woman' who kills herself and her child before returning to haunt the living. Expressionistic, lyrical and atmospheric, Ramón Peón's film draws on the influence of Universal Pictures' contemporaneous horror cycle and incorporates elements of period melodrama and romance.
