Here is the official synopsis for the Guillermo del Toro produced horror MAMA, directed Andres Muschietti, as well as his original short upon which the feature is based. Good luck sleeping tonight.
“Guillermo del Toro presents Mama, a supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their mother was murdered. When they are rescued years later and begin a new life, they find that someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night.
The day their father killed their mother, sisters Victoria and Lilly vanished near their suburban neighborhood. For five long years, their Uncle Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend, Annabel (Jessica Chastain), have been madly searching for them. But when, incredibly, the kids are found alive in a decrepit cabin, the couple wonders if the girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home.
As Annabel tries to introduce the children to a normal life, she grows convinced of an evil presence in their house. Are the sisters experiencing traumatic stress, or is a ghost coming to visit them? How did the broken girls survive those years all by themselves? As she answers these disturbing questions, the new mother will find that the whispers she hears at bedtime are coming from the lips of a deadly presence.”
Crikey. MAMA stars Jessica Chastain (THE HELP) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (GAME OF THRONES) as Ananbel and Lucas, with Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse as the young sisters. If the synopsis alone hasn’t sent chills down your spine, check out Muschietti’s original short on which the film is based. But, for the love of God, don’t watch it at bedtime.
Oh, Mama!
