Interesting facts

The Cry is a 2007 American independent horror film directed by Bernadine Santistevan and co-written with Monique Salazar.

Background

The story is based upon the Mexican urban legend of La Llorona. The legend began in Aztec mythos where the goddess Cihuacoatl was said to have taken the form of a beautiful lady draped in white garments to predict the death of her children. This early myth evolved into the modern Mexico version of La Llorona, a woman who, betrayed by her husband, drowned her children out of revenge.
