US horror film, set in 1973, in which a social worker and her children are haunted by a malevolent spirit.
Seemingly wishing to start another Conjuring off-shoot, this will be lucky to get out the gate. Without an original or fresh bone in its body, The Curse Of La Llorona smacks of unelevated horror for the very easily scared, not to mention pleased.
The sixth entry in The Conjuring Universe is a disappointing take on The Weeping Woman.
There are enough bloodcurdling moments here to make you cower, but the mechanics are rusty.
This unscary, 70s-set horror about a child-killing ghost is a formulaic genre dirge.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
