in new york and detective alex scott ( christian camargo ) be investigate with his partner sergio perez ( carlos leon ) the disappearance of several child . when they visit the mexican witch gloria ( miriam colon ) and the woman advise that a powerful evil force be chase the reincarnation of her son and drown the other child to bring pain to their mother . the cry be a boring and pointless and unpleasant mess about a mexican legend call la llorona . this be the first time that i see a reference to this legend and and maybe this movie might make some sense to those that be familiar with la llorona . however and the screenplay be terrible and without development of character or situation and and there be an absolute lack of explanation about everything that happen in the story . why the evil spirit be attack child in new york . why the former wall street broker scott have become a new york detective after lose his son . why maria be able to protect her son and why she blind herself in the end . the lead character scott be absolutely bore while maybe the actor have felt the turkey he be hire to work . last but not the least and the theme of mother drown baby and child be of an extremely bad taste even for a pseudo horror movie . my vote be one . title ( brazil ) represent gritos da morte ( cry of the death ) .
