The Curse of Buckout Road

In 1673 Mexico, two young boys present their mother, Marisol Ramirez, with a cherished pendant, marking a moment of joy and connection. They dance hand in hand, unaware that this moment of happiness will soon fade into horror as their family dynamics begin to unravel.

The youngest boy suddenly realizes that his family has disappeared, igniting a wave of panic within him. He calls out for his mother and brother, only to encounter a fate worse than abandonment when he witnesses a horrific act by his mother.

In a chilling scene by the river, the young boy sees his mother drowning his brother, an event that forever scars him. In a frantic attempt to escape, he finds himself pursued by the very person who should protect him.

Fast forward to 1973, where Anna Tate-Garcia is orchestrating a typical school morning for her two children, Chris and Sam. This seemingly normal routine is abruptly disturbed by troubling news concerning a mother, Patricia Alvarez, whose children are reported missing.

Concerned for the welfare of Patricia's children, Anna persuades her boss to allow her to investigate. Accompanied by Officer Claro, she heads to the Alvarez residence, feeling the weight of a mother's duty pressing down on her.

Upon entering, Anna and Officer Claro face resistance from Patricia, who is desperate and on edge. In a moment of revelation, Patricia confesses to hearing cries from a mysterious woman, prompting Anna to search further.

Anna discovers the boys, Tomas and Carlos, locked away in a closet. Their wrists are marked by burns, alarming Anna and reinforcing her fears about their situation and the nature of the threats looming over them.

Later that night, Carlos hears sobs, leading him and Tomas to encounter the vengeful spirit of La Llorona. This encounter marks the beginning of their terror, as her presence casts a sinister shadow over their lives.

Anna receives a devastating call from Detective Cooper, informing her of the boys' lifeless bodies discovered in the river. Patricia blames Anna for their deaths, heightening the stakes and the tension surrounding Anna's attempts to protect her own children.

In a terrifying moment of vulnerability, Anna's son Chris encounters La Llorona, feeling her chilling grip. This forebodes the escalating conflict between Anna's family and the spirit determined to wreak havoc.

Anna learns of La Llorona's tragic backstory from Father Perez during a ritualistic cleansing at the Alvarez home. Understanding the depths of this spirit's pain reveals the urgency of safeguarding her family against its wrath.

While playing outdoors, Sam finds herself ensnared by La Llorona, experiencing the spirit's touch firsthand. This reinforces the constant threat posed to Anna's children and heightens the family's sense of impending doom.

In a heartfelt confrontation, Anna seeks answers from Patricia in prison, but faces her ire instead. As Anna hears La Llorona's chilling calls intensifying, she realizes the fight for her children's safety is far from over.

Turning to spirituality, Anna seeks help from Rafael Olvera, who agrees to assist her after recognizing the gravity of their situation. Together, they set out to uncover ways to combat the pervasive spirit threatening their lives.

In a heart-stopping climax, Anna confronts La Llorona, risking everything to save her daughter Sam. Armed with sacred objects and the strength of her love, Anna ultimately stabs La Llorona, dispelling the dark spirit and securing her family's safety.

As dawn breaks, Anna begins to grasp the trauma they've endured, marked by the remnants of La Llorona's tears on the sidewalk. This final image serves as a haunting reminder of their narrow escape from a world filled with sorrow and loss.
