Roman Christou Talks The Curse of La Llorona

Roman Christou, a Santa Barbara native, was kind enough to talk to us about the new super scary movie, The Curse of La Llorona, where he plays Chris. The movie will be hitting the theaters on April 19th and we loved getting a chance to speak with him about the film.

Roman will make his feature film debut as Chris in the upcoming Warner Brothers horror film, The Curse of La Llorona, which will be hitting theaters April 19th. The story depicts the urban legend of La Llorona, the ghost of a woman who lost her children and now cries while looking for them in the river, often causing misfortune to those who are near or hear her. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm. His mother in the film is played by actress Linda Cardellini. The cast also includes Sean Patrick Thomas, Patricia Velasquez, Marisol Ramirez, and Raymond Cruz.
