Patricia Harris Seeley directs The Legend of La Llorona using a screenplay by Jose Prendes with a story by Cameron Larson, Jose Prendes, and Seeley. Genre favorite Danny Trejo, who fans will recognize from any number of movies in and out of the horror genre for the past several decades, is a part of the cast that also includes Autumn Reeser, Antonio Cupo, and Zamia Fandino.

The official synopsis reads, "A malevolent spirit bent on vengeance, stalks a young family visiting Mexico. Andrew, Carly and their son Danny travel to an isolated hacienda in Mexico for a much needed vacation. As they enter the town, signs showing missing children set an ominous tone. The family learns of the legend of 'La Llorona,' the evil spirit of a distraught mother who lurks near the water’s edge and strikes fear in the hearts of all who see her.

La Llorona torments the family mercilessly, snatching Danny and trapping him in a netherworld between the living and the dead. Aided by the resourceful taxi driver Jorge (Danny Trejo, Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) the family races to save their only child, navigating the foreboding countryside held by menacing cartel thugs. Gaining strength and power and leaving a path of death and destruction in her wake, La Llorona is seemingly unstoppable. But a secret from Carly’s past may provide an opportunity to finally defeat the spirit."

The legend of La Llorona has served as an inspiration for various movies for nearly a century, dating back to 1935's La Llorona. Some of the other movies it's inspired include The Curse of the Crying Woman, Kilometer 31, and J-ok'el. More recently, it inspired the Warner Bros. Pictures horror movie The Curse of La Llorona, released in 2019. Directed by Michael Chaves, that movie stars Linda Cardellini and Raymond Cruz with Marisol Ramirez as La Llorona.

This is one of many, many projects, even just within the past year, to feature the always amazing Danny Trejo. He recently popped up in the acclaimed special Muppets Haunted Mansion on Disney+ and even played Santa Claus in an episode of American Horror Stories. The actor was also revealed to be the raccoon on The Masked Singer this year and has shown up in recent movies like The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, The Last Exorcist, The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2, and Pups Alone. He'll voice Stronghold in the upcoming sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru.

The Legend of La Llorona will be released in theaters on Jan. 7, 2022. A release On Demand and Digital will follow on Jan. 11. You can take a look at the eerie poster below ahead of the horror movie's release.
