Mama
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.
Horror is fundamental to Mama's identity: the supernatural entity 'Mama,' fear-driven suspense, and disturbing imagery anchor the viewing experience. While there are emotional and dramatic elements involving the children and caretakers, removing or downplaying the horror would fundamentally alter the film. It sits firmly within supernatural horror/thriller rather than being primarily a non-horror genre.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological and low-gore horror movie.
