SPOILER ALERT!!!He performs an exorcism on Cassandra. He comes face to face with La Llorona. It tries to seduce him but he holds out and continues his exorcism. She knocks him out. He wakes up and starts again. Llorona comes out of Cassandra and Fr. Gomez tells the two women to go. He stands up to La Llorona alone. He tells her to take him instead of Cassandra. She does and he promptly kills himself. The movie ends with Cassandra and Tiffany preparing for the baby. When it does come, Tiffany looks at it and it is possessed!!!!
This was a fun film. I liked the story about La Llorona and there was lots happening in this.
The cast did a good job and I liked the three lead characters. The Fr. Gomez character was a little dubious in parts, but he came good in the end !! I liked the ending too. I would certainly recommend this. It is a low budget horror movie but it is well worth a watch. I enjoyed it!! If you would like to see this, you can get it on Amazon Prime.
