Creepy but not really scary. At once depressing and creepy which really makes the movie that much better as it toys with you. I say B.

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2013)

"In order to survive such extreme isolation the girls created an imaginary guardian, a parent figure to feed them, sing to them, protect them. They called her mama." After the stock market takes a down turn the father of two young girls panics and begins to drive off with them. After an accident leads them to a cabin he is about to do the unthinkable when something grabs him. Five years later the girls living with their uncle and aunt begin to see their "mama" again. I will start by saying that this movie is creepy but not full on scary. Anyone who has seen the other Del Torro movies will recognize his style. This movie is scary in the way that Pan's Labrynth was. I do have to say that the movie was also a little depressing which made the creepy parts that much more effective since it's playing with your emotions. The movie is good and worth watching but it is PG-13 so don't expect a jump out of your seat horror. Overall, good movie worth seeing but also a little depressing as well as creepy. I give it a B.
