JERUZALEM MOVIE COMMON SENSE MOVIE
Find ratings and reviews for the newest movie and TV shows. La Llorona herself merely cackles and snarls at the camera, recalling little Gage in Pet Sematary and not scary at all. IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. The low-rent digital effects round things out, from blobby-looking blood to a "menacing" scarf that slithers through the water. Even the performers who can manage to deliver a line can't get around the silly story and poor dialogue and decision-making, especially the fact that young Danny gets taken by La Llorona three times. Cupo makes husband Andrew seem especially abrasive and pushy and not exactly the most sympathetic character. (The main female character is adopted and may or may not be of Latino descent, but she doesn't speak Spanish and identifies as White.)Įven if viewers choose to overlook that (though why would you?), other issues in The Legend of La Llorona include the subpar performances (with the exception of Trejo he's still cool). A good place to start is the way The Legend of La Llorona appropriates Mexican culture, not only borrowing the monster, but also focusing on a White family while viewing the Latino characters as either "bad men" or helpful servants or side characters. 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.
