While this might be surprising for some fans, the film's connection with the Conjuring Universe runs even deeper.
For example, in this film, the connective thread is Tony Amendola's Father Perez, the same character from Annabelle (he was originally listed as this character on IMDb, even before the Conjuring connection was made official). In The Curse of La Llorona, he mentions his experience with the possessed doll, placing this film in the midpoint of the Conjuring timeline (after The Nun, Annabelle, and Annabelle: Creation, but before The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2). However, not unlike films within this universe like Annabelleor The Nun, the connection isn't necessarily laid on thick (for the most part, at least).

The film is part of a much bigger - and highly-profitable - horror franchise. Now, even though it was assumed that The Curse of the La Llorona would be a standalone film, it turns out that this isn't the case. In folklore, La Llorona (aka the Weeping Woman) is said to be a spirt who lost her children and now haunts other living children to claim for her own. Originally marketed as a standalone supernatural horror film, early screenings of the film have confirmed that it exists within the same world as the Warrens, Valak the Nun, and the possessed doll Annabelle.īased on a spirit from Latin American folklore, The Curse of La Llorona follows a woman named Anna Garcia (Linda Cardellini) in the 1970s who discovers that an evil entity known as La Llorona is latching onto her - but not for her specifically. It turns out that The Curse of La Lloronais officially part of the ConjuringUniverse.
