The weeping, ghostly woman is a folklore staple but bringing the supernatural Mexican tale to life required some trailblazing simply because there weren't many modern interpretations to pull from. From the kinds of scares employed on its audience to the haunted family aspect at its center, the film bore a resemblence to films like The Nun and the Annabelle series - all the way down to its creature design. It may not be entirely in The Conjuring universe of films, but La Llorona certainly contained hallmarks of Wan's involvement. The subjects of the Conjuring films, supernatural investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, are linked to pretty much everything that happens in the wider cinematic world, and it’s in the Conjuring films that we witness their experiences first hand.The Curse of La Llorona followed in the haunted footsteps of the horror films created under mega-producer and director James Wan's watchful eye, making plenty at the box office while setting up genre fans for a potential franchise. Michael Chaves is making his directorial debut with The Curse Of La Llorona, but James Wan clearly sees a bright future for the American filmmaker, as he’s placed The Conjuring 3 in Chaves’s hands. The Curse Of La Llorona‘s director is taking the helm of The Conjuring 3 next
The ‘Weeping Woman’ myth inspired La Llorona’s horrifying image, with black tears streaming from her eyes – only this time, she’s travelled from her Mexican home to Los Angeles, where she preys on social worker Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini, of Green Mile and Avengers fame) and her two children. The Curse Of La Llorona is inspired by a traditional Mexican ghost story about a woman who drowns her two children in a fit of rage, then spends eternity sobbing over their passing and taking out her supernatural wrath on other families. It’s rooted in an iconic Mexican folk tale
