About the Show

LA LLORONA

Presented by El Cine

The first ever Mexican horror film, La Llorona (1933), tells the terrifying tale of a Mexican colonial legend about La Malinche, who kills her children for revenge on her unfaithful lover. Before taking her own life, she utters a curse destined to reach the firstborn of each generation of the conqueror’s family. Turned into a terrifying ghost, known as La Llorona, she laments her misfortune emitting her chilling cry: “Oh, my children!”. The film, which lasts just 70 minutes, takes place in three different periods: 1633, sometime during the Viceroyalty, and Mexico in the 20th century. This is the first sound version of the most famous Mexican legend.
