It's a shame the first movie in this series is such a drag, because it will deter people from seeing the other two, which are enjoyable.

I can like a movie that's "bad" on a technical level. Bad acting, bad camerawork, bad dialogue, etc. are not necessarily deal breakers. There's only one thing a movie can't be, which is boring, and this movie is excruciatingly so.

The second movie (Revenge of La Llorna) is enjoyable for how outlandish it is, and the third movie (Curse of La Llorna) has a sense of fun and passion to it, but this first movie is just a slog. The few nice moments it has are not worth the pain of getting to them. Avoid.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Residents of a small inn are haunted by the ghost of a lady who drowned her children. She seeks revenge by killing off the inn's residents one by one.
