Movie Review: MAMA


Synopsis:  "Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they?" --IMDb.

Experience: This was one of the must see movies in my list! I couldn't resist watching it because it is obviously by Guillermo Del Toro. I love his movies, so it was a must. The movie itself was at times creepy, but it did catch your attention. The whole movie gave me the feeling of a Silent Hill type and that is great in my view. You get a mystery, horror, supernatural and suspense type of movie all wrapped in one. If you like any of those genres or just the fact that Guillermo Del Toro produced it, then this is the movie for you! There are some sad parts in the movie, so be warned with those.
Rating:  5/5 stars
