Bottom-of-the-barrel retelling of the Mexican legend of La Llorona. Everyone seems to be dialing their performances in, but it's doubtful the director was helping them along. La Llorona appears onscreen with all the dynamism of a reject from a cosplay event. More of an ill-tempered corporeal fruitcake than a ghost, she repeatedly kidnaps a child and the family keeps retrieving him - only to leave him alone again so the ghost can give it another go.
This film teaches us that nightfall looks a lot like someone placing a blue lens on the camera. We also learn that a great way to defend yourself from ghosts is to blast them with a shotgun.
Who's crying now? Anyone who makes it through this plodding mess to the credits.
