"The Curse of La Llorona" is a solid addition to the Conjuring Universe, offering a chilling tale rooted in Mexican folklore. The film follows the story of a social worker, played by Linda Cardellini, who becomes entangled in a supernatural curse when she investigates a case involving a grieving mother and her children.
What works well in this movie is its atmospheric tension and jump scares. The filmmakers effectively create an eerie ambiance, and the ominous presence of La Llorona is hauntingly portrayed. Linda Cardellini delivers a convincing performance, adding depth to her character's struggle.
However, the film does rely heavily on typical horror tropes, which may feel somewhat predictable to seasoned horror fans. Additionally, some viewers might wish for more exploration of the Mexican folklore aspect, as it offers a unique twist on the genre.
