Mama just killed a man (Well quite a few actually)

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

The horror is mostly predictable and while you'll see the scares coming, they'll probably still make you jump a little but that aside Mama is easily the most moving ghost story since "Ringu" (the Ring)an emotional tale efficiently and affectingly told without the gore that we've become desensitised to.
The film doesn't overstay its welcome at just over an hour and a half and provides a decent ending which could or couldn't lead to a sequel.
Guillermo del Toro's contribution may have lead to many people's interest, as he was responsible for "Pan's Labyrinth." Despite the commercials, he had little creative control over "Mama," working only as an executive producer.
