Goofs

Raphael is shown placing the fire tree seeds (too keep la Llorona from the house) along the front door and one window, but apparently he stopped there because the back door had no protection. As soon as la Llorona realized she could not cross the front threshold, the family panicked realizing she could get through the back. See more »

User Reviews

 
Flat, boring and filled with clichés
2 May 2019 | by JimztahSee all my reviews

Honestly I'm surprised with all the good scores in the user reviews. I'm surprised as this was easily one of the worse movies I've ever seen. The acting was subpar, the plot was so incredibly flat and easy to guess beforehand, the dialogue was futile and almost like something a writer threw together in a day or two.

If it wasn't for the decent effects, the mostly atmospherical suspense and the children's surprisingly decent acting I'd give this an even lower score. It's that bad. Don't waste your money on this like I did.
