It leads to a climactic showdown which is loud, but not particularly scary.
He instead sends Anna to a wisecracking ex-priest (Raymond Cruz) who has turned curandero to battle the supernatural.
That apparently was a prerequisite for director Michael Chaves so he can stage increasingly tiresome jump scares, as La-Llo constantly comes screeching into the frame, like some kind of malevolent Jack-in-the-box in a wedding dress.Ī kindly priest (Tony Amendola) declines to help Anna, because he once got involved with evil himself through a frightening doll called – wait for it – Annabelle (now you see how this ties into "The Conjuring" universe). Here's the ending of The Curse of La Llorona explained.The film is set in 1973, which is presented as a literal kind of dark ages in which people rarely turned on the lights at home. Members of the La Llorona cast have recalled growing up with the fear that La Llorona would take them away from their families and drown them for bad behavior.įor those trying to understand the generations-old folklore and the film's place in the Conjuring universe, we're breaking down the final act of this latest entry. It's unfortunate, because there's a truly scary story in here - in the real world, the story of La Llorona has been told to countless children to scare them out of misbehaving. The film has earned negative reviews from Rotten Tomatoes-approved critics, making it one of the worst-reviewed films set in the Conjuring universe (alongside Annabelle and The Nun). The paranormal horror film, helmed by debuting director Michael Chaves, is a spinoff from the main story as well as a taste of things to come - Chaves told the audience during a Q&A session after the film's screening at the South by Southwest film festival that he'll also be directing The Conjuring 3.
The Curse of La Llorona marks the sixth entry in the Conjuring cinematic universe produced by James Wan.
