As I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "The Legend of La Llorona" from writers Cameron Larson and Jose Prendes, I must admit that I wasn't harboring much of any high hopes given the movie's fairly low rating here on IMDb. And also the reviews weren't particularly favorable. But it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.
Now, it should be noted that having Danny Trejo on the cast list wasn't exactly something that lured me in to watching "The Legend of La Llorona". He is a so-so actor for certain movies and genres, but not one that I go out of my way to get to watch his movies.
Director Patricia Harris Seeley didn't really impress me much with the 2022 horror movie "The Legend of La Llorona". Sure, it was watchable, but it wasn't particularly scary. Nor was the movie outstanding, memorable or impressive in any way. So I would say that "The Legend of La Llorona" is good for a single viewing, and that is about all it had to offer. This was actually a rather bland and forgettable movie experience.
The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, most noticeably were Autumn Reeser (playing Carly) and Angélica Lara (playing Veronica).
Visually then "The Legend of La Llorona" was adequate. It wasn't a visually impressive movie, nor was it one of those eyesore movies with bad effects. I will say that the visual effects and make-up team did adequate jobs here.
"The Legend of La Llorona" is a movie that you watch once and never again.
My rating of "The Legend of La Llorona" lands on a three out of ten stars.
