Mexican folklore melds with J-horror elements and the brooding atmospherics of Spanish horror specialist Jaume Balaguero in director Rigoberto Castaneda's loose adaptation of the La Llorona legend - a frightening tale that has been passed down from parent to child for generations.

In terms of mood, it is masterful, however, the film falls down slightly due to a surfeit of subplots.
Supernatural thriller elements finally combine with an old Mexican folk legend.
So what bit of this stylishly made, relentlessly silly horror film is "based on real events", exactly?
It's all too familiar for its own good, and isn't helped by the screenplay's meandering subplots about the twin sisters' past and their loves in the present.
This stunningly derivative Latin ghost chiller might have had audiences Jackson Pollocking their underwear 10 years ago. Now (unless you've spent the past decade down a well), only the sheer poverty of ideas is terrifying.
Solid performances and a well-manifested sense of the supernatural makes KM 31 a journey worth taking.
A standard shudder picture, with an impressive, chilling apparition.
Mexico's first ghost story in decades is slick and well-crafted, but fails to distinguish itself or find its way to a satisfying ending.
I had a huge expectations on this Movie, but already after 30 minutes I figured out what was going on the km 31. Watched it to end and I said to myself "never trust the Trailers." lol

So I watch this on the same day as They. The first scene is incredibly familiar and illustrates exactly what is wrong with horror today. The films were made a few years apart, in completely different countries and I'm not accusing of plagiarism as the scene wasn't that original to begin with. Somebody is driving along
