The Curse Of La Llorona scares up some genuine tension, but can't fully break the curse of a lacking script. La Llorona’s overall story (and true to life folklore) is an interesting one, but the film never digs deep enough into the potential of it all. The film also falters from its repetitiveness, in that they go to the same “jump scare well” way too many times. There are only so many instances where the same creepy silhouette can pop out at you before boredom sets in. Luckily the movie does give way to a number of legitimate tension filled moments and boasts decent performances from its leading cast. In the end, The Curse Of La Llorona, while effective in parts, could (and should) have been so much more.
