Curse of the Crying Woman (La Maldición De Llorana) // Mexican Gothic

dir. Rafael Baledón // 1963 // 1 hr 20 mins

Mexico's most famous phantom, La Llorona has been the subject of dozens of movies over the years, including a recent installment in the Conjuring franchise and Jayro Bustamante's Golden Globe-nominated 2019 film. This, however, is almost certainly the wildest. Produced by and starring the legendary Abel Salazar (THE BRAINIAC, et al), CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN is Mexican gothic at its weirdest and most bombastic, throwing every imaginable trope and special effect at the wall to create a delirious concoction of haunted house hysteria complete with witches, dungeons, cobwebs, and a deranged spouse locked up in the attic, to name just a few.

For four weeks in September, Orrin Grey and the Stray Cat Film Center team up to bring you some of the strangest, eeriest, and most chilling horror flicks from south of the border. Haunted monasteries, mad doctors, witches, ghosts, mummies, and more await you in four underseen classics of MexicanGothic.
