We learn to kill our little girl and our little boy within us. For me, it's about our fears and the things that we do at a very early age. One of the reasons why La Llorona will stay forever is because of what she represents. And I always questioned, how far are we willing to go in our rage? When you are enraged by something, how far are you willing to go? When you think of La Llorona itself, a woman who killed what she loved the most. Not for everybody, but at the end there's peace. And when you're trying to give a message, the best way to give a message is always when there's humor, when there's an intense emotion, you know, that it ends with a happy ending. And when you see this film and the relationships between the women, and the women with themselves, and the transformation that they go through themselves, it's something that we as individuals also walk away with. What is so great about horror films sometimes is that they have wonderful female relationships. What do you think that we can learn from that experience of learning from the people around you that maybe you don't agree with? It felt like the relationship between your character and Linda's character, you kind of saw that go from being close to definitely some anger, and then kind of come back around.

At the end we do wanna be closer as a community. Because at the end of the day it doesn't matter how many separations we are trying to create from - whether it's class, money, or cultures, or languages. And horror films and the experience of going to the movies, it brings that experience. We are members of a community, and more and more we're losing these opportunities where we can just really share freely as a member of a community. Well, I think we as community, as the nature of human beings, we were not born to be alone. So, why do you think that's an important aspect of the movie-going experience? But I did experience the community feeling you mentioned while watching this film. And I feel the same way. I'm not like a huge horror person. You mentioned that you weren't a big fan of horror before.
