A social worker has to confront a supernatural entity that has bad intentions after she draws it's attention to her own children through a case she was working on.
Another horror film from The Conjuring universe, with The Nun still remaining the weakest of the bunch. It uses a topic often seen in various forms, but the myth of La Llorona exists and actually deserves some attention. The development of the story though is not very original and its execution is even less, using genre clichés that are too obvious and none of the original subtleties of the first films in the series. It gets some extra points for a few pros: Linda Cardellini's role as the mother, who is wonderful juggling a person that's scared of some unexplained something and a mother who is afraid for and defends her children, but also the comical effect of some completely unexpected lines just dropped on the audience at inopportune moments with an effect that's actually quite beneficial to the overall impression of the film.
