La Llorona (2019)

Set in Guatemala, a former dictator (Julio Diaz) is now on trial for orchestrating the genocide of the indigenous Mayan population in the 1980s. When a new maid (Maria Mercedes Coroy) arrives, strange things with supernatural overtones begin to happen. Directed by Jayro Bustamante (RITA). A blend of the supernatural which gives the film a horror movie patina and a political film. The real horrors of the mass murder of Guatemala's indigenous people are infinitely more horrifying than the well executed mystical atmosphere. Some critics have complained about the film's often snail like pacing but it didn't bother me at all. It allows the viewer time to let the true atrocities sink in rather than concentrating on traditional horror movie scares. A disturbing film and all the more disturbing because of its reality. With Margarita Kenefic, Sarina De La Hoz, Maria Telon and Juan Pablo Olyslager.
