SXSW 2019 Review: “The Curse of La Llorona” World Premieres at SXSW and in Theaters Now
By Liz Lopez Rating: B-/C+ The horror film “The Curse of La Llorona” premiered at SXSW on Friday, March 15th and many in the audience seemed unnerved. As for me, not so much. I have heard (and read) about the familiar legend, La Llorona, in Latin American (Mexico and South America) folklore, over the past few… Continue reading SXSW 2019 Review: “The Curse of La Llorona” World Premieres at SXSW and in Theaters Now
SXSW 2019 Review: PET SEMATARY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) At what was probably way too young an age, I read Stephen King’s horror novel Pet Sematary and was definitely spooked. King’s fresh spin on “the living dead” gave me chills and frights that probably kept me awake on some nights. I was also rather taken… Continue reading SXSW 2019 Review: PET SEMATARY
