Hollywood has been bombarded with the same kind of ghouls and monsters that the west has to offer, but they have yet to explore to occult from the people of Latin America. Having a rich history of stories that are told locally, The Curse of La Llorona is a great addition to the Conjuring Universe opening the occult horrors from Mexican folklore and the practices that come along with it

This film was co-produced by James Wan who had built the Conjuring universe into the thrilling franchise it has become. Now adding this to the collection is fitting given that this now deals with the supernatural beings from a different region. As many people don't have the idea that Latin America holds a lot of folklore and practices that are more eerie and weird than what we always see.

Looking into the story of the "weeping woman" of La Llorona, it takes place in Los Angeles with a social worker named Anna and her kids who later on becomes the victim of the obsessive La Llorona who already had child victims that were drowned. The ghost then finds its way to Anna's home and her kids.

It is also an unlikely day to write something about your own thoughts in the middle of the morning.
