Ramirez conveys pure hatred and terror with her menacing facial expressions. Her face, in combination with makeup and effects, is pure nightmare fuel. Marisol Ramirez is a force to be reckoned with as La Llorona. Velasquez’s physical and facial performance really adds to the believability of her crippling outlook on reality. Velasquez brings life to Patricia Alvarez with a paranoid and grief-filled performance. It’s a shame his character is pretty much only a plot device to offer spiritual protection to the protagonists. His dry humor and confidence play off of the leading cast quite well. Cruz is a strong side character within the film. Her desperation and love for her kids is every evident, although some of her lines do come out a bit flat and uninspired. Cardellini fiercely portrays Anna, who will stop at nothing to protect her children. The cast does a fair enough job with the script they are given. The film stars Linda Cardellini from “Brokeback Mountain,” Raymond Cruz, Patricia Velasquez and Marisol Ramirez. The film follows a single mother as she does whatever it takes to defend her kids from the malevolent spirit of La Llorona. “The Curse of La Llorona” is Michael Chaves’s feature length directorial debut and another entry in the ever-growing The Conjuring Universe. Move over Bloody Mary - there’s a new child-killing spirit in town.
