An early Mexican ghost movie.

The Hispanic-American legend of 'la llorona', the vengeful, wailing ghost of a woman who commits suicide after losing her child, has been fairly popular as of late, featuring in a spate of horror films such as The Legend of La Llorona (2011), The Haunting of La Llorona (2019), The La Llorona Curse (2019), La llorona (2019) , The Curse of La Llorona (2020), and La Llorona (2022).This 1933 Mexican movie was the first time the ghost was featured on film. It sees a family under a terrible centuries old curse, their children doomed to be stabbed to death when they reach the age of four. The curse relates to the legend of La Llorona (The Crying Woman), and in two flashbacks, we are shown the origins of two 'Lloronas', the first a woman rejected by her lover, who kills her son and herself, and the second an Indian woman whose son is taken by the conquistadors, driving her to take her own life.Unfortunately, the majority of the movie consists of dull melodrama, with very little in the way of style or supernatural happenings, making it a disappointing effort overall. Things pick up a touch towards the end of the film, as a sinister figure in a hooded robe kidnaps four-year-old Juanito, taking him into a secret room with the intention of killing him, thus fulfilling a vow sworn by their ancestor, but it doesn't make up for all of the dreary, slow-moving scenes that come before.3.5/10 rounded up to 4 for IMDb.

A Crying Shame

Described on screen as "A Modern-Day Version of the Popular Legend", sadly this is one of those films that looks far more promising on paper than it is to actually watch.For obvious reasons it wasn't until the introduction of sound before the story could be done justice on the screen. Mexico's answer to the banshee has perennially provided material for the cinema right up to the present day, and the character of Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter novels probably continues the tradition.Bookended by two remarkably graphic scenes depicting corpses with their eyes open, unfortunately nearly half the film is devoted to swordplay rather than the phantom, which doesn't actually appear until the film has already been on for nearly forty minutes - almost half it's running time - and then gets lost in a welter of plots including a sinister hooded figure, the identity of whom when finally revealed admittedly really proves something!

Classic Mexican horror

This is one of the key titles from the classic period of Mexican horror, a period which was low on quantity but surprisingly high on quality. It precedes the two best-known films of the cycle, "Dos Monjes" and "El Fantasma del Convento", and shares some key personnel with them. La Llorona is a figure unique to Mexican folklore -- the wailing spirit of a woman who lost or killed her child and now returns to seek revenge and haunt the living. With its framing story and flashback structure, this film sets forth a couple of variations of the story. It is well-shot overall, with fine sets and shadowy photography (reminiscent at times of early US talkies like "The Bat Whispers"), and the scenes of the Llorona and her agents are often visually (and aurally) striking in their crude way. However, the bulk of the movie tends to be somewhat pedestrian and melodramatic, and it can't compare with the stylistic triumphs of "Monjes" and "Fantasma". As the first of the genre, though, it warrants plenty of admiration and respect. Also fascinating is the mixture of the "pagan" beliefs of the indigenous culture with the Catholic morality and ethics of the bourgeois classes, a contrast which would appear often in Mexican films. A later 1960s telling of the story (with the same title) fashions it more as a Gothic vampire piece, and is one of the finest contributions to the Latin horror revival of the time.
