The acting is really not good, and the whole story pointless.

Apart for the name which is similar to a more famous movie, there is nothing here worth watching.

This version is worse than the one in the theaters from 2019. Compared to this one, that one is a masterpiece. A 6.5 at best for the 2019 version.

The movie is a low budget effort with almost no serious special effects. Half the time the Llorona is a white robe moving in the water here and there.

The side story of a couple having lost a child feels forced and fake.

The writing is uninspired and the scenes seldom interesting.

No scary jump scares.

I suspected it was going to be a sad effort when I saw my boy Machete was in the movie. He actually is in it until the end. I have a soft spot for home boy but his movies seldom win oscars.

The only part I like is the credits song La llorona by Carmen Goett. Great song.

Crying shame. The actors actually were decent too. But had no serious material to work with.

I couldn't even finish watching it. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, but this was just low budget, poor acting, no storyline/plot, it just completely lost it.

This was the worst thing I have ever watched. Their acting is so bad and their special effects are barely there. I seriously regret watching this movie. It's not even scary. They add the scary instrumental music but it's not scary.

Sorry but acting is very average,It's not scary,The effects are poor. I watched it because of a 6.3 rating but for me its closer to 3.6.If your desparate, take a look but keep your expectations low.

Who made this terrible movie? Acting was atrocious. The main woman was so selfish and unbelievable. Story was terrible. Don't give it your time. The Mexican characters were all caricatures. The weeping woman was ridiculous and not scary.

Poor acting. Amateur actors. Cheesy script. Standard special effects. Screams, wailing, etc. I just wanted to find out more about La Llorona or The Weeping Lady. All I got was this. A waste of time.

The best movie to sleep ever. I watch it every night. Very bad acting and a poor drama around the plot. The scene where the drug dealers use their machine guns, to keep La Llorona away from them; it is ridiculous.

I was hoping for good things from this Film, but was left very disappointed. The acting came across as wooden and emotionless - almost acting by numbers! The dialogue at times was totally at odds with the scene being acted, the plot had holes in it, and there is then a real leap in the story/background to reveal the twist which was pretty evident right from the beginning of the film. Just very disappointing.

Not a horror fan, but I quite enjoyed this one. Far better than the major production that was released a few years back. Big fan of both Danny Trejo and Autumn Reeser.

I saw the reviews at first and all were saying that it's not good or there is no effort put in, don't listen to them. I saw the movie and I loved every second of it and I'm sure you will love it.

This film stinks , bad acting , direction, script , you name it this film hasn't got it , I heard DANNY so often that it becomes unbearable.

If I could give it minus numbers I would do, how on earth anyone put the money up to make this rubbish is beyond me , if they have any more money they want to waste , send it to me.

Idk who thought this was okay to even try to make a spin off movie . Terrible acting, graphics, effects all was trashhhhhhh. My family and I are huge scary movie freaks and this was very much lifetime movie quality!!

Before watching this movie I read a couple reviews, negative ones, and I thought people were too harsh like most of the time so I decided to give it a shot and find out for myself. What a big mistake this time, for once I should have trusted the negative reviews. The Legend Of La Llorona is pure garbage. There is nothing good about it. The horror, if you can call it like that, is most of the time inexistant, or of really bad quality. Even the jump scares are dumb and predictable. I was literally waiting for the end to come, as quick as possible. The acting was horrendous, especially from Autumn Reeser, the main actress, but also from Danny Trejo (alias Machete). Danny Trejo isn't the greatest actor ever, we all knew that, but with his mean face he fitted well in a couple good movies, but here he has to act and that's something different. For some reason he appears from nowhere in every scene, in daylight or at night, it doesn't matter, suddenly he appears. That's how bad this script was. Now if you're afraid of a white sheet floating in the water you will get some scary moments here... sarcasm---> off.

Just wrong on every level possible. What a script ! OMGoodness ! Acting was just horrid. It was like they were reading from cards. "My baby..my baby .."...La Llorona was going to drown her own baby....but she misses it so much ? I'm confused. There was not a single thing I liked about this movie except when it was finally over.

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.

I can't, we got pranked into watching this movie. With high expectations we got immediately disappointed within the first 10 minutes. WEAK special effects and poor acting. Please, we have to stop people from making these. Danny Trejo made me give 2 stars, legend.

This was terrible in every way. Terrible acting, terrible writing, silly effects, terrible CGI, ridiculous plot. The only curse of La Llorona is this movie.

Ghost stories and films fit in their own genre classification. To enjoy, one must suspend belief and not be concerned with lapses in logical narrative. Overacting and preposterous situations add to the fun. The classics would never pass any rigid critical analysis, that's why they are classics.

The Legend of La Llorona slips into this category. It's obvious from the get-go that this is not a multimillion-dollar production, but it's enjoyable and at times downright scary.

You have the ghost story requirements: vulnerable, yet strong woman, this time featuring the very talented Autumn Reeser who is the only cast member to give a constantly even performance. Alos, you have the befuddled father and the young child in danger of being kidnapped by the evil diaphanous spirit. Throw in some Mexican drug cartel nasties and a couple of over-the-top performances by actors who should know better and you have a what may someday be on the same shelf of those horror films from the 30s and 40s. I'd see it again just to watch Autumn Reeser versus the Witch.

The Legend Of La Llorona is a made-for-streaming movie that once again attempts to capture the famous Mexican legend that many know. A year earlier, Honduras made its own adaptation of the legend and the end result was a disastrous movie. Now the production company responsible for the Power Rangers franchise decided to give it a try with a low budget and with the participation of the unforgettable Danny Trejo. Here it must be said that they managed to make a movie that mostly respects the essence of the original legend. The origin story of La Llorona is somewhat different, but the essence of the mythical spectre remains the same. They also decided to incorporate the well-known island of the dolls that has no relation to the legend, but contributes a lot. Although the digital effects are simple, the atmosphere of the movie helps a lot to the experience. The blue filter in the night scenes fits well with the environment and more so because it can be linked quite a bit with the water where La Llorona lurks. The actress who plays her manages to offer a very good representation of the spectre with that white dress and long black hair. Something that also stands out very well is the use of the traditional La Llorona song at the beginning and end. It is a very popular song in Mexico and including it in the film adds a lot. Even though it is a low-budget project, it is likely that this could have been the best La Llorona movie made in recent years. Whether it is because it is a low-budget production or because it was made by people who only know the basics of the legend is not known, what is ironic is that it seems that every time a movie about La Llorona is attempted, something always ends up going wrong. Even though the film is quite solid in the pacing and plot, that later falls apart when inconsistencies start to appear. The Cartel that appears in the film does not add much and just feels like filler. It is contradictory that Veronica says that La Llorona only appears at night when the disappearance of Veronica's daughter happened during the day and Veronica was present. Carly starting to distrust Jorge felt very forced. There are some dialogues that are bad or incoherent. The part about finding La Llorona's lost baby buried on the same island where she keeps the children prisoner also made no sense, although thankfully they correct it at the last moment. The way they defeat La Llorona was clearly copied from the version that was produced by James Wan. Lastly, the part about La Llorona's offspring is hard to process. It might make sense of why La Llorona wanted to kidnap Danny so badly, but it doesn't make any sense of the moments where La Llorona attacked Carly. This film could certainly have been a worthy adaptation of the original legend despite its budget, but it's a shame that it didn't quite succeed. The Legend Of La Llorona is just an attempt that could be considered decent or average. It manages to offer a good ghost story that maintains the essence of La Llorona and the appearance of Danny Trejo makes it worth checking out. But that's all it has to offer and it doesn't manage to stand out enough to be a memorable film. My final rating for this movie is a 6/10.

This movie is super cheesy and a cheap production. Not scary at all. Wasn't worth renting after watching it. Super disappointing. Don't waste your money..

It's definitely not the worst film I've ever seen but it was still bad, I couldn't watch the movie properly because of their bad acting, characters were also unlikable and I didn't care if they were gonna die or not, the Mexicans were the only kinda interesting ones and I like Danny Trejo but he couldn't save this film from all the negatives.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting, the script, the cinematography, all of it absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time with this movie.
