It’s definitely creepy and has practically made an art form out of the perfectly-timed jump scare. On this level, the movie works very well. It serves as a boogie-man warning to keep children safe or obedient, as in, “You better behave, or La Llorona will get you!” Traditionally, this story exists on many levels.
The movie focuses on widowed Anna and her two children who have become the latest targets of La Llorona and the shaman healer that helps her do battle to protect her family. It is said that La Llorona searches the banks of the river at night searching for the souls of her children. When he tells his lover, he is going to take his sons away and marry the lady, the girl is driven to madness and drowns her sons in the river. They are very happy, and she bears him two sons, but when it comes time to marry, he chooses a wealthy Spanish lady of his own class. The movie is based on a old Mexican story about a poor, but beautiful native woman who falls in love with a Spanish Hidalgo. I owe it all to La Llorona herself and my fascination with folklore.

Maybe there's going to be a last minute twist that reveals this was a Conjuring movie after all.
It has James Wan involved, and like the Conjuring movies, it's set in the past. Spooky! Overall, I'm kind of surprised they're not selling this as yet another Conjuring film.
