The urban legend of La
Llorona (Spanish for The Weeping Lady),
comes to life in this morbid tale about
the monstrous, vengeful boogey woman who
wanders near bodies of water and wails
into the night for her lost children, who
she drowned after being spurned and
deserted by their father.
Miguel (Will Morales), a mercenary, soon
learns that La Llorona is anything but a
legend, when he is commissioned to locate
and return a young runaway to a sleepy
riverside town in order to rid it of La
Lloronas curse.
Miguel is successful in recovering the
young girl; however as he is nearing the
town he swerves to avoid a figure
standing in the road and crashes his car.
Awakening, he finds that the young girl
is missing and heads towards the town to
find her. There he discovers that cashing
in might mean cashing out, in a story
filled with Latin mythology, irony, and
deception.
I could not understand the
story to this as it wasn't clear at all
which was the reason I got the info from
the myspace site..
The movie was made on a cheap camcorder
and it was too dark to see the picture of
it too.
However it can be fun at times but a drag
in most parts.
Loosely based on a novel by Ray John
De Aregon.
The acting sometimes is a
little too overdramatic with the cast but
some of it seems to pull through okay in
certain spots while watching it through.

Terrence Smith
really needed to whip the film in shape
as he lacks a bit with it but he does
show a great effective scene when he
directs Carrie Wallace awakening
while the spirit is calling to her and
she is in a trance to do so.
There's also a wonderful moment of him
directing a satanic sacrifice in the
film.
We have a
nice music score with QDC and
there are alot of moments that his
keyboard playing sounds similar to the
music in the 1982 cult classic My
Bloody Valentine.
