About

The Curse of La Llorona is a 2019 American supernatural horror film that draws inspiration from the Latin American legend of La Llorona, a vengeful spirit known for mourning her drowned children. The movie is set in 1973 Los Angeles and follows Anna, a social worker, as she investigates a case involving two children. Unbeknownst to her, this leads to a confrontation with the malevolent spirit La Llorona, who seeks to claim children to replace her own. The film explores themes of motherhood, loss, and regret, as Anna tries to protect her own children from La Llorona's wrath. With the help of a folk shaman, Rafael Olvera, Anna navigates the supernatural realm to save her family. The movie blends horror elements with cultural folklore, offering a compelling narrative rooted in the enduring legend of La Llorona. It is part of The Conjuring universe but stands as a standalone tale.
