Guillermo del Toro presents Mama, a supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their parents were killed. When they are rescued years later and begin a new life, they find that someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night.
Practical Effects
Mama's contorted design—practical effects over CGI, blessedly.
Acting
The feral girls are genuinely unsettling; no cute kid acting here.
Cinematography
Dreamy decay—moths, shadows, and that wallpaper.
