Trailer Debuts For The James Wan Produced ‘The Curse of La Llorona’

A lot of buzz around the upcoming release of The Curse of La Llorona now that it has been announced that the director – Michael Chaves – has been tapped for the coveted position of helming the next chapter in The Conjuring arc.   After seeing this trailer – I think I understand why Wan made the choice.   Check this out!

Now that is some creepy shit right there!

Got an indepth synopsis that fills in all the details:

“La Llorona.  The Weeping Woman.  A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand.  The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations.  In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain.  Now her tears are eternal.  They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed.  La Llorona creeps in the shadows and preys on the children, desperate to replace her own.  As the centuries have passed, her desire has grown more voracious… and her methods more terrifying.

In 1970s Los Angeles, La Llorona is stalking the night–and the children. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm.  Their only hope to survive La Llorona’s deadly wrath may be a disillusioned priest and the mysticism he practices to keep evil at bay, on the fringes where fear and faith collide.

Beware of her chilling wail… she will stop at nothing to lure you into the gloom. Because there is no peace for her anguish. There is no mercy for her soul. And there is no escape from the curse of La Llorona.”

Hitting theaters on April 19th – the film stars Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Patricia Velasquez, Marisol Ramirez, Sean Patrick Thomas, Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen, and Roman Christou.

This one is heading high on the must see in 2019 list.

This poster art is pretty stellar as well!
