I would say that ‘Mama’ which is presented by executive producer Guillermo Del Toro is not rightly labeled as a horror film because it is more of a fantasy and supernatural thriller than it is scary. Argentinian director Andrés Muschietti made a short film in Spanish in 2008 titled ‘Mamá’ along with his sister Barbara Muschietti, Del Toro saw something he liked and convinced them to make it into a full-length film. The film approaches what we’ve come to expect from Del Toro such as beauty even in the darkest scenes, an interesting plot, and weird supernatural characters. The film is entertaining in its own right, but for those that are looking to get spooked, you will only be startled and will be taken in a completely different direction. Read More
