What critics compared Mamá to
Small wonder then that a number of directors devote themselves to copying his special effects—including Andrés Muschietti, whose new spiritual thriller Mama is as good an example as you’re going to get of style over substance.
Mama, directed by Andrés Muschietti and produced by del Toro, is a case in point: its conclusion conveniently gets rid of the member of the family who can’t be made to fit in – just like the del Toro-produced Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark effected some sort of reconciliation between two relatives by sacrificing the extra person in the family.
"Mama" was produced by Guillermo del Toro, the masterly Mexican director of such action fantasies as "Mimic," "Hellboy" and the memorably lyrical "Pan's Labyrinth."
Mama is the lastest horror movie to carry the prestigious stamp of being "presented by Guillermo del Toro" - following in the tradition of such films as The Orphanage (2007) and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010).
