Mama is making eyes at me

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2018)

An investment banker Jeffrey (Nikolaj Coaster- Waldau) has a breakdown and kills his wife and two colleagues. He takes his two infant daughters to a cabin in the woods and plans to kill them but they are saved by some entity that protects the girls and raises them. They call her Mama.
For five years the girls' uncle, Lucas (also Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) has led a search for the girls and they are found in the cabin. Lucas faces a custody battle with the girl's grandmother but a doctor and a medical institute come to his assistance. Lucas raises them with his rock singer girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain.) When Lucas is hospitalised after an accident, Annabel reluctantly looks after the kids but Mama has been visiting the girls.
The film is produced by Guillermo Del Toro and has elements of a dark twisted gothic fairy tale where things certainly go bump in the night. It is dark and creepy but by the end a little too dark as you cannot see what is going on. It probably is deliberate as the film literally falls of a cliff to a messy and stupid ending.
