Though “The Curse of La Llorona” claims to be connected to the widely successful “The Conjuring” universe, its connections inevitably feel forced. This cookie-cutter method of putting scenes together is lazy and becomes more dull with each repeat. Every other scene begins with a door on the opposite side of the house creaking open, followed by five minutes of a character walking through a hallway and ending with La Llorona jumping out at them. The film’s scares are cheap and completely unearned. “The Curse of La Llorona” is a tired, boring film that doesn’t even hide that it has nothing to offer to the horror movie industry. Save for the demon’s unique name and like so many other imitators of “The Exorcist” or “The Conjuring,” the film follows a predictable, generic plot. The film follows widowed mother Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini) and her two children, Chris (Roman Christou) and Samantha (Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen), who find themselves tormented by a historical demon named “La Llorona” (Marisol Ramirez), or “The Wailing Lady.” The family seeks help from the church to break the curse. The latest entry in the growing “Conjuring” franchise, “The Curse of La Llorona,” directed by Michael Chaves, proves that spin-off films of this universe simply try to sell themselves off franchise fame, rather than quality of content.
