The film follows two young girls abandoned in a forest cabin, fostered by an unknown entity that they fondly call "Mama", which eventually follows them to their new suburban home led by two adults after their uncle retrieves them.
It was produced by J. Miles Dale and co-written by Barbara Muschietti, with Guillermo del Toro serving as executive producer. The film was theatrically released on 18 January 2013, by Universal Pictures. Mama received mixed reviews from critics, with many praising the performances and atmosphere, with criticism for plot and writing. The film was a box office success, grossing $148 million against a $15 million budget.[5]
Distraught after losing his fortune in the 2008 financial crisis, stockbroker Jeffrey Desange murders his colleagues and his estranged wife before taking his young daughters, 3-year-old Victoria and 1-year-old Lily, away. Driving dangerously fast on a snowy road, Jeffrey gets into a car crash, breaking Victoria's glasses. Surviving the collision, he takes the children to an abandoned cabin. Planning to kill his daughters and then himself, he prepares to shoot Victoria but is killed by a shadowy figure.
Five years later, a rescue party, sponsored by Jeffrey's identical twin brother Lucas, finds a now 8-year-old Victoria and 6-year-old Lily in the cabin, alive but in a feral state after years of isolation. The girls are put in a welfare clinic under Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss. They refer to "Mama," a mysterious maternal protector figure. The girls are initially hostile to Lucas but Victoria recognizes him after he gives her a pair of glasses and she can see properly. Victoria acclimates quickly to domestic life while Lily retains much of her feral behavior.
Annabel has a dream revealing Edith's past; when Edith was sent to the asylum, her child was given to nuns. She escaped and took her baby back, stabbing a nun. Fleeing her pursuers, she jumped off a cliff, but before hitting the water below, she and the child made impact with a large branch. Edith drowned, but the child's corpse snagged on the branch and did not fall with her. Annabel realizes that Edith hadn't realized her child was caught on the tree and doesn't understand why her baby wasn't in the water with her. Edith's troubled ghost, Mama, searched the woods for her child for years until she discovered Victoria and Lily and took them as surrogates.
Lucas regains consciousness after a vision of his dead twin tells him to save his daughters. Victoria's growing closeness to Annabel makes her less willing to play with Mama, unlike Lily. Dreyfuss visits the cabin and is killed by Mama, who then attacks Annabel and the girls. She also kills their maternal great-aunt Jean and uses her body to spirit the children away. Annabel and Lucas find the children on the same cliff where Mama leapt with her infant.
Annabel, who found Dreyfuss' box of the child's remains, offers them to Mama. Mama recognizes her lost baby and her appearance briefly turns human. However, Lily calls out for Mama, causing her to revert to her monstrous form and attempt to take the girls. Victoria asks to stay with Annabel instead of leaving with Mama. Mama accepts and she and Lily plummet off the cliff. Mama and Lily are briefly shown as spirits happy to be united before hitting the branch and turning into a shower of moths. Annabel and Lucas embrace Victoria, who notices a moth landing on her hand, suggesting that Lily is still with her in spirit.
The film began production in Pinewood Toronto Studios on 3 October 2011. Production ended on 9 December 2011.[citation needed] Parts of the film were also shot in Quebec City, Quebec. Although the film was produced in Canada, it is set in Clifton Forge, Virginia. Much of the Mama character was filmed practically. To create the unnaturally jerky movements, Javier Botet was hung from a wire rig and his limbs were tugged at random times. Even heavily CGI-augmented scenes stitched different elements of Botet's performance.[6]
The film was initially scheduled for release in October 2012, but was later rescheduled for January[7] to avoid competing with Paranormal Activity 4. Its success at that later date has, among with other dump months horror films, convinced studios to start opening horror movies year-round.[8]
Mama received mixed reviews from critics. It holds a 63% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 166 reviews, with an average rating of 5.90/10. The website's critical consensus states: "If you're into old school scares over cheap gore, you'll be able to get over Mama's confusing script and contrived plot devices."[9] Metacritic gives the film a weighted average score of 57 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[10]
Richard Roeper, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, enjoyed the film, giving it three stars out of four and saying, "Movies like Mama are thrill rides. We go to be scared and then laugh, scared and then laugh, scared and then shocked. Of course, there's almost always a little plot left over for a sequel. It's a ride I'd take again."[11] Owen Gleiberman, reviewing for Entertainment Weekly, gave the movie a B and said, "Mama lifts almost every one of its fear-factor visuals from earlier films: the rotting black passageways that spread like mold over the walls (very Ringu meets Repulsion); the fire in her eyes; the crouched figures that skitter and pounce la the infamous 'spider' outtake from the original Exorcist; the way that Mama, with her arms like smoky-shadowy bent tendrils, evokes both the monster from the Alien films and also, in a funny way, the crumpled-puppet gothic mischievousness of Tim Burton animation. Nothing in the movie is quite original, yet Muschietti, expanding his original short,[12] knows how to stage a rip-off with frightening verve. It helps to have an actress on hand as soulful as Jessica Chastain..."[13]
In February 2013, it was reported that a sequel was in the works.[29] In January 2016, Universal announced that duo Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Klsch would rewrite and direct the sequel.[30] Chastain would not return for the sequel.[31]
This past weekend I paid the ridiculous $12.50 to go see the 2013 horror movie Mama. Mama is co-written and directed by Andres Muschietti, co-written by Neil Cross, and produced by Guillermo del Toro. The movie has a dark, cold feeling to it. The colors all seemed very ominous and frigid. The special effects were mediocre and the soundtrack was not memorable.
I am a huge fan of horror films, however I have to say over the years I've found it hard to find many horror films that I genuinely like. I think one of the current masters of horror though is definitely Guillermo del Toro. So when I heard he was producing Mama I couldn't contain my excitement. The story plot was fantastic, something that I think a lot of modern horrors seem to sacrifice for jump scares. It keeps you engaged throughout the movie and as you keep watching, unraveling past mysteries as we go along.
The only major problem I had with the film is the ending, I felt that was the only glaring weakness in the film, however I'm obviously not going to spoil that for you. I would definitely give this one another watch sometime in future!
Directed by Andrs Muschietti, the film does contain Guillermo del Toro's thumbprint, but it lacks the solidity of a del Toro film. The atmosphere of the film is dark and beautifully adds to the creepiness. The story is refreshing and a decent story is hardly seen in modern Western horror films. However, the CGI takes away from the authenticity of the film and ruins the decent story.
The movie starts out in complete chaos as a troubled father and husband kills off his wife and takes his two daughters on a high speed chase along a wintery road, where he ultimately crashes the car and ends up at an abandoned log cabin in the middle of the woods. He attempts to off his two daughters in this lone cabin but is quickly whisked away by a mysterious entity haunting the cabin. The story of this forlorn mother who lost her child after leaping off a cliff develops in the most eery way as she clings to these two children and refuses to let anyone take them from her. Bits and pieces of her past are brought to light with quick flashbacks which explains the attraction she had to the two children to begin with.
I find, however, that there wasn't much to her story save for the subtle hints that she wasn't a fit mother to care for her child due to mental illness? And as a result her child was kept from her. Resulting in her stabbing a nun in the neck, stealing her own child and leaping off a cliff and killing the pair.
Remember a little bit of unprotected sun exposure each day is actually good for us (Vitamin D), so what I like to do is apply this sunscreen once outside as it starts to work immediately (unlike chemical sunscreens which you need to apply 15-20 minutes beforehand). Remember to also accessorize with a broad-brimmedhat, sunglasses, and long sleeved clothing for your littles.

The director is first-timer Andy Muschietti, and the producer is Mexico-born horror maven Guillermo del Toro, who moves back and forth between popcorn genre pictures and surreal fantasies with imperiled child characters, among them Pan's Labyrinth.
In addition to at least three or four jump-in-your-seat stingers, we get some of the most creatively chilling nightmare sequences in recent memory. A stylized dream (which is really a transferred memory) set in the 19th century, in which we see a crazed young woman creating bloody terror before leaping off a cliff with her newborn, all of it shown from the madwoman's point of view? That's a lot more innovative than anything we're likely to see in yet another film about a plodding behemoth in a mask chasing after dumb teenagers through the woods.
