Mama is one of Guillermo del Toro‘s many jaunts as producer following other horror efforts like Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark, Splice, and The Orphanage.
First timer Andres Muschietti directs this movie about a woman (Jessica Chastain, The Help) and her husband’s attempts to raise two girls who were left “alone in the wilderness for at least five years.”
The girls, who are beyond socially awkward, slap their new mother, draw creepy pictures on the wall, and repeat the word “mama” over and over again in a terrifying but overused Hollywood horror whisper.
Mama comes out January 18, 2013.
