 A legend is coming to digital this March... ...RLJE Films has picked up select rights to director Jayro Bustamante's Golden Globe nominated film La Llorona and will be releasing the film digitally this March! Our own Jeffrey W. Hollingsworth called the film "an unmissable tale of a haunting cultural mythology and family tension." You can read his review here. In La Llorona, written by Bustamante and Lisandro Sánchez: "Indignant retired general Enrique finally faces trial for the genocidal massacre of thousands of Mayans decades ago. As a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade their opulent home, the women of the house – his haute wife, conflicted daughter, and precocious granddaughter – weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic, senile Enrique against the devastating truths behind being publicly revealed and the increasing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes. Meanwhile, much of the family’s domestic staff flees, leaving only loyal housekeeper Valeriana until a mysterious young indigenous maid arrives." The film stars María Mercedes Coroy (Ixcanul), Margarita Kenéfic (Aro Tolbukhin in the Mind of a Killer), Sabrina de la Hoz (Tremors), and Julio Diaz. La Llorona comes to Digital HD on March 2nd from RLJE Films. You can also currently stream the film on Shudder.
