When Maria found her husband with a younger woman, she exacted revenge on him by drowning their sons because they were what her husband cared about the most. Legend has it that La Llorona was originally a young woman named Maria who married a wealthy nobleman and gave birth to two boys. “La Llorona,” or “The Weeping Woman,” is a Mexican folklore tale used to scare children into obeying their parents. The film hinges on an old and fascinating piece of Mexican folklore. “The Curse of La Llorona,” however, is plagued by dull storytelling, and Chaves does not nearly match the caliber of Wan’s past work. In the past, Wan crafted haunted atmospheres that paralyzed viewers as they were immersed in the spiritual journey of characters. The sixth installment in the Conjuring Universe, “The Curse of La Llorona” is a disappointment. As the new director taking charge of “The Conjuring” series, director Michael Chaves fails to bring audiences the same thrilling experience that fans of the first and second “Conjuring” films are accustomed to from James Wan, the series’ former director. The cacophony of unnecessary squelching and the ungodly banging of doors and drawers in “The Curse of La Llorona” are enough to give anyone a migraine.
