Not Bad, Not Bad At All

La Corona is a serviceable horror movie set in the universe of The Conjuring.

It has James Wan-esque camera movements, just very cleverly constructed horror sequences, one involving an temperamental umbrella and the other inside a car with taunting winding down windows.

Linda Cardellini is great, probably the best aspect of the entire movie. The jump scares are fun, though predictable, but I love a good jump scare, as long as the film keeps me interested. La Carumba has a very murky, dim aesthetic, most scenes have flat lighting and very dark interiors, and to be honest, it works, it adds to the atmosphere and gives the film a very bleak outlook.

The characters are fairly one dimensional, and stands as one of the weaker entries to the Conjuring series, but it's better than The Nun, and if it had better direction and stronger writing, then this Curse would certainly be one that sticks around.
