About this episode
In Episode 6 of Scream Creeps, the crew—Jeremy, Josh, Aaron, and Elaine—tackle the controversial entry in The Conjuring Universe: The Curse of La Llorona. Set in 1973 Los Angeles, this film often sparks debate about its place in the franchise timeline, but the hosts dive right in, examining its loose connections via Father Perez and a familiar-looking Annabelle doll.The review is mixed, with the group generally finding the movie "bland" compared to the highs of The Conjuring 2 or even Annabelle Comes Home. They critique the anticlimactic ending, where the terrifying entity is dispatched with a simple stab, and question the logic of characters who seem to change motivations on a dime. However, they do praise some specific scares, such as the umbrella scene by the pool and the tension of the car windows rolling down on their own.Key Highlights [01:13] Chronological Context: The hosts introduce the movie as the sixth in their chronological watch, set in 1973, placing it after Annabelle Comes Home.
