New Curse of La Llorona Poster wants your children

Producer James Wan and THE CONJURING 3 director Michael Chaves's new horror flick THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA comes to terrifying life this April. To help prepare you guys for the sure to be freaky flick, a few weeks back we shared an all-new trailer for the film (which you can check out below if you missed it) and today we have an all-new poster to share with you guys. This new poster is a lot like the first one (which you can see HERE) but decides to ditch all subtilty and straight up tell you that this witch is here for your children and she has plans of drowning each and every one of them in some sort of swampy bog of eternal stench. Check out the new poster and trailer below and let us know what you think!

Here's the synopsis:

La Llorona.  The Weeping Woman.  A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand.  The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations.  In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain.  Now her tears are eternal.  They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed.  La Llorona creeps in the shadows and preys on the children, desperate to replace her own.  As the centuries have passed, her desire has grown more voracious…and her methods more terrifying.

In 1970s Los Angeles, La Llorona is stalking the night—and the children. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm.  Their only hope to survive La Llorona’s deadly wrath may be a disillusioned priest and the mysticism he practices to keep evil at bay, on the fringes where fear and faith collide. 

Beware of her chilling wail…she will stop at nothing to lure you into the gloom. Because there is no peace for her anguish. There is no mercy for her soul. And there is no escape from the curse of La Llorona.

The film is produced by James Wan, Gary Dauberman, and Emile Gladstone. Chaves, who won Shriekfest’s Best Super Short Film in 2016 for “The Maiden,” makes his feature directorial debut. The film stars Linda Cardellini (SCOOBY-DOO), Raymond Cruz, and Patricia Velasquez (THE MUMMY), Marisol Ramirez, Sean Patrick Thomas (HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION), Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen, and newcomer Roman Christou.
