Pretty lame but a must see for anyone who knows the story!

I grew up with the story of "La Llorona" and I had to get this movie if only to relive those memories of sitting with my cousins in Mexico in a darkened room while aunts and uncles would tell us stories of this "wailing woman"! It was fun!

Well, It Had Creepy Music...
Added 10/16/2009
and it had a creepy premise, but that was about it. I wanted this movie to be more than it was (um, I guess I want that of most things I watch), something along the line of Japanese Scary Atmospheric Horror, but it fell flat and never got better. It failed on almost all levels, but the music was truly haunting and got under my skin - I just wish the movie tried as hard. The filmmakers will luck out a bit on this one since people will look at the cover and give it a chance, albeit an undeserved one.

I used this movie in conjuction with an adult education lesson plan on myths and legends. The movie could not be considered a "good" movie but was effective for an end to an interesting topic.

I was crying right until the end
Added 9/2/2008
I think the director must've cried during post production when he saw how bad his movie really was. However, to be fair, I think the actors went out of their way in this film, which is the only reason why I didn't stop the movie halfway through. I kept thinking it was going to get better but it only got progressively worse.
The big disappointment for me was the fact that they never showed what this crying woman looked like. You see what she sees through her eyes, sort of like how Laura Mars saw what the killer was seeing in The Eyes of Laura Mars.
Bottom line: don't waste your time or your money. That means don't rent it or buy it. Seriously.

Lost Potential..
Added 8/7/2008
"The Cry" has an interesting story, a 500 year old legend about a child-killing demon, but the director does nothing to draw in the viewer. This film is boring, boring, boring. The cinematography is grainy and the story is told in the same murky manner.
There are better horror movies out there.
