La malédiction de la Llorona

« Perhaps the film's most grievous sin is that it isn't very scary. »

« Generations of Latin children were terrified by threats of this ghost, but the white writers mostly miss the point in this effective but misguided effort. »

« It is a terrifically scary movie that I wish were more haunting. »

« The predatory bogeywoman of Mexican legend haunts 1970s Los Angeles in Michael Chaves' efficiently formulaic shocker. »

« Collaboration between the star and French filmmaker extraordinaire Claire Denis will blow your mind. »

« This weak spin-off of the 'Conjuring' series will haunt you for all the wrong reasons. »

« Maybe in a film written by someone with a stronger background in either horror or folkloric storytelling? »

« Overall, it's very familiar stuff but as a pure genre exercise, undemanding audiences may enjoy it as disposable entertainment. »

« The overall execution is tepid and uninspired, putting this chapter below the level of chills we've come to expect from the better Conjuring movies. »

« Exception faite d'un ou deux moments forts, la mise en scène de Chaves se montre aussi pauvre en surprises qu'en suspense. Enfin, l'interprétation apparaît très quelconque. »
