THE CRYING WOMAN 1933 (SINISTER CINEMA)

A very well done early Mexican horror film.

This is, of course based on the famous Mexican legend that films such as "Curse Of The Crying Woman" were based on as well.

The plot concerns a family that is under a curse. The curse is that any child who reaches four years old will be killed by the vengeful spirit of the "wailing woman".

The spirit is of a woman who killed her child and then herself. The family must fight and free itself from what seems to be an eternal curse.

I love Mexican cinema and this movie did not disappoint. It's well done for what it is, and everything keeps the viewers attention right up until the final scene in the climax, which you may or may not be expecting.

The print is subtitled into English and overall the print quality is very good. I was glad to finally see this film after hearing about it for years, and it makes excellent viewing this time of the year.
