The Curse of La Llorona

“The scares are plentiful and sometimes ticklishly funny in The Curse of La Llorona, an enjoyably old-fashioned ghost story.”

Manohla Dargis, The New York Times · 70

“It is a terrifically scary movie that I wish were more haunting.”

Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 70

“The Curse of La Llorona offers some decently suspenseful set-pieces and has a family you care about at its center, but it's also a very familiar and formulaic Annabelle-adjacent entry in the Conjuring franchise.”

Jim Vejvoda, IGN · 68

“The bottom line for every horror tale is the same. Does it chill, get those hairs on the back of your neck to stand up? Is it satisfying, in either a righteous or abandon-all-hope climax? Don’t cry for “La Llorona.” She gets a wet, dirty job done.”

Roger Moore, Movie Nation · 63

“A solidly intense creepout. Granted, it doesn't do anything to rewrite the horror rulebook in any significant way. This won't be remembered as a horror classic by any stretch. "The Exorcist" it is not.”

Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune · 60
