A mother and her two kids are haunted by a malevolent, supernatural presence that turns their lives into a fight for survival.
So… My review of The Nun (2018) was bad! La Llorona is not as bad. The great photography gives the viewer an eerie atmosphere, and the acting is convincing. The same major problem exists, though. The messy, inundated with gimmicks and cliches story. I cannot stress enough that the script’s problems cannot be covered by visual or sound effects. In this day and age, jump scares alone don’t make a horror scarier. Only more marketable.
On one hand, I’m glad the film did well, as Linda Cardellini needs and deserves that spotlight. She’s a really good actress, and we need to see her in major roles more often. It was good to see Raymond Cruz in a film as well. It’s been too long. On the other hand, as long as films like that do well, the producers will keep producing them, and the rest of us will run out of horrors to watch (other than real-life horrors).
The Conjuring universe has become a bloody “borefest” that one just can’t stop snoozing. I haven’t watched Annabelle Comes Home (2019) yet, so I’ll let you know when I do.
Damn, I hope it’s better…
