The Legend of La Llorona is a horror film directed by Michael Chaves, following a couple named Anna and Eric (played by Linda Cardellini and Raymond Cruz), who are both on a trip in Mexico with their young son, Chris (Roman Christou). One day, Chris wanders off on his own and disappears, causing Anna and Eric to frantically search for him.
As they investigate, they begin to uncover a local legend about La Llorona, a supernatural being who searches for her own lost children and steals others to replace them. As strange occurrences and eerie visions plague the family, they realize that their son's disappearance may be tied to this deadly curse.
With the help of a curandero named Rafael (Tony Amendola), Anna and Eric try to fight against La Llorona's wrath and save their son before it's too late. However, as La Llorona's power intensifies and her grip over the family tightens, they must face their worst fears and confront the highly dangerous spirit head-on.
The Legend of La Llorona is based on the popular Latin American folklore of La Llorona, which tells the story of a woman who drowned her own children in a fit of rage and despair, and then roams the earth searching for them. The film uses this myth to create a unique and chilling horror experience, blending supernatural elements with the emotional trauma of losing a child.
