As the centuries have passed, her desire has grown more voracious…and her methods more terrifying.” Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Anna Garcia, a social worker (played by Linda Cardellini), and her kids become the target of the demonic spirit, despite being warned by a troubled mother. As her tortures increase, the family’s only hope to get out of the deadly curse is a priest (Raymond Cruz), who practices mysticism. The Curse of La Llorona also stars Marisol Ramirez, Sean Patrick Thomas, Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen and Roman Christou. The film, produced by Aquaman director James Wan, will release in cinemas on 3 May.
