The Curse of La Llorona
A determined mother in 1970s Los Angeles races against time to rescue her children from the vengeful ghost of La Llorona, confronting a relentless supernatural predator while enlisting a skeptical priest’s forbidden mysticism before the night claims them forever.
“She wants your children.”
Synopsis
In 1970s Los Angeles, the ghostly figure of La Llorona haunts the night and preys on children. A social worker, ignoring the unsettling warnings of a troubled mother, becomes entangled with her own children in a terrifying supernatural world. Their only chance of surviving La Llorona's deadly pursuit is a disillusioned priest who uses mysticism to combat evil.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 34
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 14× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
