After expanding his Conjuring universe in multiple directions, James Wan is turning his attention – as a producer, at least – to other terrors. Prepare, then, to see more of The Curse Of La Llorona as the new trailer hits.
Michael Chaves makes his directorial debut with the film, while Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis are on script duty. Originating in Mexican folklore, the story is set in 1970s Los Angeles, where La Llorona is stalking the night – and the children. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker (Linda Cardellini) 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.
The creepy creature will stalk into UK cinemas on 3 May.
