Review of The Curse of La Llorona

Much like 'The Nun' from last year, there were things I liked and things that I didn't like. Unlike some of the other films that share the same universe, like the main films and the 'Annabelle' spinoffs. If they had focused more on building tension and less on building the world of the 'Conjuring' universe, 'The Curse of La Llorona' could've worked as its own entity (no pun intended). However, what we end up with is a cascade of jump-scares held together only by the acting and the occasional sense of dread. Yet, still manages to be the more entertaining entry into this prolonged franchise.
