La Llorona

An early horror classic drawn from Mexico's rich tradition of folklore, La llorona recounts the chilling tale of the `wailing woman' who kills herself and her child before returning to haunt the living. Expressionistic, lyrical and atmospheric, Ram�n Pe�n's film draws on the influence of Universal Pictures' contemporaneous horror cycle and incorporates elements of period melodrama and romance. This landmark production in the evolution of Mexican cinema has been newly restored from the only surviving film elements, and is presented here with a selection of essential extras.
