Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

An investment banker Jeffrey (Nikolaj Coaster- Waldau) has a breakdown and kills his wife and two colleagues. He takes his two infant daughters to a cabin in the woods and plans to kill them but they are saved by some entity that protects the girls and raises them. They call her Mama.For five years the girls' uncle, Lucas (also Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) has led a search for the girls and they are found in the cabin. Lucas faces a custody battle with the girl's grandmother but a doctor and a medical institute come to his assistance. Lucas raises them with his rock singer girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain.) When Lucas is hospitalised after an accident, Annabel reluctantly looks after the kids but Mama has been visiting the girls.The film is produced by Guillermo Del Toro and has elements of a dark twisted gothic fairy tale where things certainly go bump in the night. It is dark and creepy but by the end a little too dark as you cannot see what is going on. It probably is deliberate as the film literally falls of a cliff to a messy and stupid ending.

The scariest, most unpredictable film I've seen in a long time. Fantastic photography, sound and effects, with brilliant acting, especially Jessica Chastain as Annabelle. Fantastic effects during the film's climax. An instant classic and favorite! Another incredible Guillermo del Toro production.

Seemed like a pretty standard run-of-the-mill horror movie when I first read about it and saw the trailers, but as I saw it (about 3 weeks before official release) it's actually one of the new millenias most unusual film in its genre. It's has a very dark and strange theme and feel to it, but at the same time an old school Grimm-brothers-like storyline and keeps on surprising. Truly unique and a must see for any horror movie fan.

Well after some nice wine tastings and some cheese eating and after I have just witnessed this moving picture with my eyes, I can say that this moving picture is a total waste of time I wouldn't want anybody to waste their precious time seeing this. I would give this movie a solid 0/5, would shoot myself over watching it, but I couldn't know what I was about to see.
