O ovom filmu

Guillermo del Toro, the Academy Award-nominated writer of Pan's Labyrinth, presents this supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their parents were killed. When the young sisters are found alive in a decrepit cabin, their uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones) and his girlfriend (Oscar-nominee Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty) take them in. As they try to introduce the children to a normal life, Annabel (Jessica Chastain) begins to wonder if the traumatized girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home.

I wouldn't own this movie but its worth watching if you want a unique story and a bit of thrill one night. This movie borders on the line of classic thriller/horror that is more about the anticipation and suspense than how much gore can be thrown in every scene. As previous comments state, the ending is a little 'meh' but I feel it was suiting to the story.

While it seems like a cheap horror film, Del Toro has made me fall in love all over again. The beautiful soundtrack and the development of the characters go hand in hand as the story unravels into a work of pure unease. While there are a few cheap jump scares, the animation and acting that portrays "Mama" is stunning, which is mainly what makes this so memorable. If you enjoyed "The Babadook," I would highly suggest this work!

Good premise and special effects, but not much else worth seeing here. Two-dimensional characters doing irrational things in an absurdly fast-paced storyline makes for a mediocre movie at best...tack on a stupid, sappy ending to drop the whole experience below average, and you have "Mama".
