Ep 109: Host and La Llorona

SHUDDER ORIGINALS TO CREEP YOU OUT

The Cinemondo gang takes a close look at some films on Shudder. HOST… a “found footage” style scare film directed by Rob Savage. Set in England the film is about a creepy Zoom seance that goes all awry with a malevolent demonic manifestation that could have been totally avoided with a little more respect for the Astral Plane (drink your shot now)… and a wonderfully moody film from Guatemala that’s hard to classify into a single category. LA LLORONA, directed by Jayro Bustamante, brings the Legend of the Weeping Woman into a contemporary setting and gives us a look into the family of a disgraced man known as “The General” who may or may not have been involved in a horrifying genocide. Guilt and retribution and vengeance play into this beautifully shot film where a family is confronted by their dark and deeply evil family history.
