Leslie Felperin Guardian [Trejo] and most of the rest of the cast deliver their lines with the flat, enthusiasm-free cadences of an ensemble cheesed off with the size of their paycheques and the quality of the catering. Rated: 2/5 Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Queue it up, watch the movie. Danny Trejo's in it. Jan 7, 2022 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle This umpteenth time is not a charm. Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture A limp, alarmingly on-the-cheap horror production. Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting It's got a repetitive script, laughable special effects, an over-reliance on jump scares, and wooden actors who don't bother trying to elevate what little is on the page. It also has Danny Trejo! Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This cheesy horror tale, which cashes in on a monster made famous in bigger-budget movies, glides confidently into the "so bad, it's good" realm, making ill-advised choices in nearly every capacity. Rated: 1/5 Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Leydi L This movie made my head hurt from how dumb the characters decisions were, feels like everyone was making the most incomprehensible decisions possible. This is the first movie that actually triggered me. (love Machete though) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Kyle M The eponymous spiritual presence may never get a definitive replication expressed through film, hence considered a legend encrypted, but the scares are familiarly unsettling and mostly improbable through your ordinary subpar budgetary copy of a more decently frightening craft attempted via "The Conjuring" while mimicking dated supernatural manifestations. (C) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Rollin' B This movie is suck so bad I want to refund my netflix account Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review steve d I think the script was written by a computer that had no idea how human talked or behaved. Autumn Reeser deserves much better material. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review mateo r machete how could you do this Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Laurieth Y M Malísima, pésima actuación. No vale la pena Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis A malevolent spirit bent on vengeance, stalks a young family visiting Mexico. Andrew, Carly and their son Danny travel to an isolated hacienda in Mexico for a much needed vacation. As they enter the town, signs showing missing children set an ominous tone. The family learns of the legend of "La Llorona," the evil spirit of a distraught mother who lurks near the water's edge and strikes fear in the hearts of all who see her. La Llorona torments the family mercilessly, snatching Danny and trapping him in a netherworld between the living and the dead. Aided by the resourceful taxi driver Jorge (Danny Trejo, Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) the family races to save their only child, navigating the foreboding countryside held by menacing cartel thugs. Gaining strength and power and leaving a path of death and destruction in her wake, La Llorona is seemingly unstoppable. But a secret from Carly's past may provide an opportunity to finally defeat the spirit.
