There’s a terrific chiller hiding somewhere in “The Curse of La Llorona,” which takes its inspiration from a Mexican ghost story. Its central figure, La Llorona, or the Weeping Woman, is one of the creepier bogey-women of urban folklore, right up there with Bloody Mary. If Michael Chavez’s debut film had delved a little deeper into her tale and into the culture that produced it, “The Curse of La Llorona” might have become something more than a serviceable but familiar-feeling horror film.
