Editorial Reviews

Product Description
AKA: La Maldicion De La Llorona A visually lush, gothic story based loosely on the real legend of La Llorona, the Crying Spirit. Beautifully filmed and dripping with atmosphere, Baledon's Curse of the Crying Woman is considered a true horror classic. A phantom figure attacks a horse-drawn carriage in the woods. As the police investigate the grisly murders, young Amelia (Rosa Arenas) travels to the old mansion of her Aunt Selma (Rita Macedo) close to where the murders took place. Shortly after her arrival Amelia uncovers dark family secrets, including rumors of torture, murder and witchcraft! Each sinister revelation exposes a more diabolical mystery. Whose charred corpse lay buried in the family crypt? Why does Aunt Selma cast no reflection? And finally: What terrors will be unleashed by The Curse of the Crying Woman?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie Finally on DVD, June 7, 2006

By	R. Koleszar "crudemoviedude" (Bloomington, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First of all, this is an awesome movie. A throwback Mexican classic, the settings and cinematography alone are amazing. The best part of this package, though, is the quality with which the DVD is produced. The technology available today has transformed what would be a grainy VHS copy into a collector's item. And for the movie? Easily one of the best Mexican horror movies ever made. Enough said.

5.0 out of 5 stars LA LLORONA...., July 16, 2006

By	Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

While perhaps not as vividly graphic as CasaNegra's other excellent release "The Witch's Mirror", "The Crying Woman" has it's own Gothic pleasures to offer. Obviously filmed on a lower budget, this only enhances the decaying atmosphere of the film which takes place in a decaying, dusty old house in a desolate wooded countryside. There, Selma-a mysterious "black widow" who's a direct descendant of La Llorona (the legendary "crying woman" who had supernatural power)-waits for her niece to arrive whom she will pass on the legacy to, whether she wants it or not. When the niece does arrive, all hell breaks loose. There's a weird clubfooted caretaker, a couple of massive bloodthirsty hounds, a crazed man-beast locked away in a cell, the putrifying corpse of La Llorona herself in the dungeon waiting to be released in new form, and there's Selma herself who casts no reflection and can change into a bat creature as well as roam the countryside with her hounds---her eyesockets black and empty. "The Crying Woman" is what it is: a highly enjoyable, low budget b&w straight-up horror film with loads of atmosphere. The DVD print is flawless. Kick back and enjoy.

Maybe this was good for it's time, and it definitely had it's moments, but quite frankly the plot was a little contrived and silly, and the charcters had very little reason to do... Read more
