Trailer

Booklet with an essay by journalist/author Francisco Goldman

A country’s bloody history stains the present in the Guatemalan auteur Jayro Bustamante’s transfixing fusion of folk horror and searing political commentary, inspired by the real-life indictment of the authoritarian Efraín Ríos Montt for crimes against humanity. A notorious, now aging former military dictator stands trial for atrocities committed against Guatemala’s Mayan communities. While battling legal repercussions and the people’s demands for justice, he and his family are plagued by a series of increasingly strange and disturbing occurrences, seemingly brought on by an enigmatic new housekeeper (María Mercedes Coroy). With a restraint that renders the film’s shocks all the more potent, Bustamante crafts a chilling vision of a nation reckoning with collective harms and the restless ghosts of a past that refuses to die.

The Curse of La Llorona

Strap yourselves in as I dive into The Curse of La Llorona, so you don’t have to (unless you feel like you deserve it), a movie that audaciously attempted to breathe life into the chilling Mexican folklore of La Llorona, but instead produced a yawn-inducing tale that even the weeping woman herself would shed tears of disappointment over.

First and foremost, we must address the rather tragic metamorphosis of Raymond Cruz from a hardened, street-savvy drug dealer in "Breaking Bad" to a bewildering portrayal of a priest turned shaman in this horrid cinematic faux pas. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Cruz delivers his lines with the grace of a crowbar trying to conduct a symphony, causing many a viewer to stifle giggles during moments that were meant to petrify. Picture this: the once menacing Tuco Salamanca, now sprinkling seeds and mumbling incantations as though he were hastily thrown into a low-budget backyard play with the neighborhood kids. The transition is as graceful as a giraffe on roller skates, leaving audiences both amused and slightly dismayed at this odd career trajectory.

As for the storyline, it could be argued that it was constructed by throwing darts at a board filled with overused horror tropes. Oh, look! We hit the "mysterious puddles leading to a ghastly figure" square, followed closely by the "child being dragged into darkness by unseen forces" cliché! One might be tempted to start a betting pool on which overused horror trope will make its appearance next. Spoiler alert: It's all of them. The original folklore brims with terrifying potential, yet "The Curse of La Llorona" seems to have opted for a Frankenstein's monster approach, stitching bits and pieces of every conceivable horror movie cliché into a lumbering beast of cringeworthy moments and lost potential.

Now, onto the leading lady, Linda Cardellini, who tries valiantly to carry this film like a marathon runner trying to complete a race with a sprained ankle. Her portrayal of a concerned mother is as convincing as a cardboard cutout with a speaker playing canned expressions of worry and fear. It is not so much Cardellini's fault, as the script gives her little to work with, forcing her to navigate through scenes with the grace of a sailboat in a hurricane.

Oh, but we mustn't overlook the children, who seem to have attended the "horror movie children school of ill-advised decisions." Never before have audiences witnessed such a glorious celebration of every bad decision a child could possibly make when confronted with supernatural forces. From investigating strange noises alone to seemingly forgetting the concept of running away from danger, these children manage to evoke both frustration and incredulity in the most stoic of viewers.

Furthermore, the film's attempt at creating a haunting atmosphere is about as effective as trying to light a bonfire with a wet matchstick. Each scare is telegraphed from a mile away, with the ominous music swelling as though warning viewers to brace themselves for the impending "shock." Sadly, the shock wears thin, as the weeping woman's appearances become as predictable as the sunrise.

"The Curse of La Llorona" serves as a stern warning to filmmakers about the perils of squandering rich folklore in favor of cheap thrills and clichéd plot devices. As viewers, we are left to mourn what could have been a riveting horror tale but instead were served a plate of regurgitated ideas garnished with a side of hammy performances. One can only hope that La Llorona herself, upon witnessing this abomination, would have mercy on us and wash this film away into the annals of forgotten cinema, where it rightly belongs.

If you seek a thrill that combines the excitement of a lukewarm cup of tea with the depth of a puddle, then by all means, dive headfirst into "The Curse of La Llorona." It's sure to evoke a cascade of stifled giggles and face-palms, making it a potential frontrunner for any "worst movie night" candidate.

Komen - Filem seram yang menakutkan. Pelakonnya juga cukup baik. Suasana seram pada malam hari begitu meyakinkan. Entiti seram itu juga memang amat menyeramkan jika terjumpa di malam hari.

Personal skor -3.5/5 (Antara filem seram yang bagus. Tapi adegan seram tidaklah begitu banyak. Kejutan yang dibuat juga boleh dijangka di mana ia akan terjadi)

Legit saw someone screeching about white-washing in ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ because “LINDA CARDELLINI IS ITALIAN, NOT LATINO!”

...Yeah. She is, and they don’t pretend she isn’t.

She isn’t cast as a Latino character. In the movie, her deceased husband is Latino- Her kids are mixed. Cardellini’s character’s last name is Tate-Garcia.

Maybe actually watch the movie before running your mouths about racism.

The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

A family is stalked by a spirit and only a former priest may be able to help them survive the visitation.

 The acting was all consistently good including the younger actors. The locations were all effective although a few of them appeared somewhat familiar or similar to others already used in the franchise. The villain worked well enough with a rough but engaging back story and many aspects similar to the Nun ghost.

 There wasn’t so much subtext as there have been in other horror movies in this series or in a similar ilk, it was more just a standard entertainment ghost story but as that it works enough to be worthwhile entertainment. There wasn’t so much unusual lore or spins on the spirit abilities, it was all thing seen many times before.

 The cinematography was up to the standard expected from this line of films with lots of effective shots using shadows and reflections which are also becoming the bar for these and similar movies. There were some brief spins on the ghost but only very light ones like the swimming pool scene and the kind of wood used for crosses.

 Most of the scares were fairly easy to predict, almost as though they are becoming a formula which is unfortunate. Many of the actual shots, including camera positions and the shapes of certain rooms, appeared to be techniques reused from The Conjuring (2013) which doesn’t make the film disappointing, just oddly similar without as much impact since it’s not new.

 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

 -The lead actor played Velma in two Scooby Doo movies, the animated show is seen playing on the TV near the start of this film.

SUMMARY: A social worker dealing with the disappearance of two children fears for her own family after beginning the investigation.

Mod Z’s biggest flex is that their first horror movie, that he knows of, was produced by James Wan, even if it was pretty stupid.
