![]() ![]() This started already with The Nun which could (and should) have been a much better movie. Honestly, it does feel like we’re wasting the potential of this awesome franchise. I’m sure my disappointment in this movie is palpable. In fact, James Wan’s Aquaman should also be part of The Conjuring universe by this standard. Insidious could just as easily be part of The Conjuring universe. However, for fans of the James Wan franchise, it will feel like a pretty weak addition with only the tiniest connection. But the movie's humans, especially the immensely likable Cardellini, cool-as-ice Cruz (Tuco from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul), and quietly consoling Amendola, who explains the legend, help make The Curse of La Llorona a decently watchable experience.The Curse of La Llorona is the latest addition to the franchise of the brilliant The Conjuring universe. It's a shame that the La Llorona legend wasn't used in a more interesting way, shedding light on what she means to specific cultures, rather than appropriating her and turning her into just another standard-issue movie ghost. But overall the movie feels somewhat bloodless and not particularly edgy it's more like watching a classic haunted-house movie than anything fresh or startling. The creepily quiet sound design is enhanced by Joseph Bishara's score. The traveling Steadicam work, the lengthy shots, the establishing of three-dimensional space, and the sharp editing all contribute to a strong moodiness. And while La Llorona often feels like a copy, it's undeniably more effective than many other choppy, shaky-cam horror movies. It effectively copies the directing style of James Wan ( The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2), who serves as a producer here. The feature directing debut of Michael Chaves, The Curse of La Llorona is the sixth entry in the Conjuring universe. Though it certainly could have been scarier and made better use of its premise, this film is still an accomplished, skillful effort in terms of its crisp, fluid look and spooky sound design.
