When the young sisters are found alive in a decrepit cabin, their uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones) and his girlfriend (Oscar® nominee Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty) take them in. As they try to introduce the children to a normal life, Annabel (Chastain) begins to wonder if the traumatized girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home.Bonus Content:Feature Commentary with Director/Co-Writer Andy Muschietti and Producer/Co-Writer Barbara MuschiettiOriginal Short with Introduction by Guillermo del ToroDeleted Scenes with Optional Commentary with Director/Co-Writer Andy Muschietti and Producer/Co-Writer Barbara MuschiettiThe Birth of Mama desertcart.com When he's not making gargantuan movies about giant robots and/or comic book hell-beasts, Guillermo del Toro as a producer has fostered a movement toward dreamy, fairy-tale horror (The Orphanage, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark), where primally Grimm scenarios reach some unusually bittersweet resolutions. Mama, del Toro's 2013 production, continues this winning storybook streak, driven by a fiercely against-type performance by Jessica Chastain and an impressive number of uneasy frights. (How many times can a little girl ferally scuttling around the edges of the frame be scary? Quite a few, actually.) Beginning with a literal Once Upon a Time, director-cowriter Andrés Muschietti's film concerns a pair of young girls left stranded in a creepy cabin in the woods after a family tragedy. When they are miraculously found intact five years later, they credit their survival to a mysterious mother figure. As their reluctant new riot girl guardian (Chastain) soon discovers, this protective entity has a murderous case of separation anxiety. Muschietti's project (devised with his sister Barbara) had its genesis as a widely YouTubed three-minute short film, and the elongation seams do occasionally show, particularly in the third act, when characters begin appearing for the express purpose of being munched. Still, even if it doesn't all hang together, Mama has no shortage of champion scary moments, expertly designed for maximum freak-out. (An early scene involving a supernatural game of tug of war hits just the right mark between nervous laughter and serious goose bump territory.) After seeing what lurks under Chastain's bed, don't be surprised if you cultivate some serious dust bunnies of your own. --Andrew Wright Review: This is a ghost story. - Mama If you were looking for a bloody slasher with mindless, big breasted teenie boppers running thru the woods, this isn't that movie. I just had to give this movie 5 stars. Why? Good understandable plot, well thought out with enough scarey twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire movie. The 2 little girls are incredible little actors and completely believable. All characters gave great performances. To me there were no villians, but how can you make a movie without a bad guy. And so the ghost is made ugly and scarey and murderous. If you think about the characters, their stories are truly heart-breaking. OK - A woman in an institution a lifetime or more ago, snatches/grabs her infant child from the nurse and makes a break for it. She is chased by big angry men thru the woods to the edge of a cliff. Her choice; let the men take her back to the institution and never see her child again or jump to her and her childs death. She jumps. Move forward to today. A distraught father takes his 2 small daughters, one is little more than a baby, in his car from their home to somewhere up in the mountains. He is speeding down an icey road in a snowstorm. He is driving like a madman. The girls are frightened and crying. The oldest girl begs him to slow down. The car skids, goes over an embankment and crashes into a tree. He grabs the girls, dragging them thru the woods and finds an old abandoned cabin. He is obviously crazy with grief. Crying and distraught, he holds his one child and puts a gun to her head. In the next moment he is savagely attacked by ??? the ghost? Next you see the two little girls sitting on the floor of the cabin. They are alone. Who will ever find them. How will they survive without heat, clothing, water, utilities and food, especially in the long cold winter. Out of the darkness, rolling across the dusty floor comes a cherry. It's a cherry the smallest girl exclaims. -Go forward several years- The girls Uncle had never given up hope of finding the girls. He has spent all his money and has frustated his girlfriend in his obsession to find them. Just has he has spent his last penny the girls are found. They are little more than wild animals, but they are alive. How could this be? In the center of the cabin's main room is a waist high pile of cherry pits. OK, a little far fetched, but stick with me on this one. The Uncle is thrilled they are found and decides to take them to live with him. The girlfriend is a free spirit (plays in a band tattoos and all) and is not thrilled with this. And little do they know, but with the girls comes the ghost. The grieving mother who jumped to her death. Her body was found, but never the child's. She had been searching for her child all those years when the distraught father came to the cabin in that area. When she heard the children crying and pleading and saw that the children were in mortal danger, she stepped in and saved them. She cared for them, played with them, fed them and protected them. You come to understand that her love for the two girls replaced the love and loss of her child she had been searching for for so long. But now others have taken these children from her too. How the rest plays out will keep you guessing. You fear for the children. The adults at first have no clue. When they each do get a clue, the ghost steps in. You never know what is coming next. The children are torn between the real world and the love of "Mama". When you believe all hope is lost. The hero in the movie is the least likely. It is a bitter/sad battle to the very end. And just when you believe it IS the end, IT ISN'T! This is a really good movie. Possibly the only really good "ghost" movie. For that I give it 5 stars.

Victoria *by E***S on March 4, 2013* Sometimes it feels like there is nothing new in horror movies -- we just get remakes, sequels, and movies that rely more on gore and nudity than real horror. But sometimes... very occasionally, we get a movie like "Mama." This is the closest we're probably going to get to a "La Llorona: The Movie" -- an eerie, creeping brand of horror that quietly slips behind you instead of leaping out of dark corners with a screech. And it doesn't hurt that the acting is pretty uniformly brilliant in this movie, even if Jessica Chastain's character arc is a bit predictable. After murdering his wife and business partner, a distraught man named Jeffrey (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) escapes to a cabin in the woods with his two very young daughters. He plans to kill them and then himself, but something destroys him before he has a chance. Five years later, the girls are found -- feral and naked, except for wreaths of flowers. Their uncle Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau again) immediately volunteers to care for them, although his girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain) is a little more reluctant. Dr. Dreyfuss (Daniel Kash) supports their custody claim and even gives them a McMansion to live in, as long as he has access to the girls. But something strange is afoot -- nightmares, moths and tales of someone the girls call "Mama." After Lucas takes a near-fatal fall down the stairs, both Annabel and Dreyfuss begin to suspect that "Mama" is not just a coping mechanism, but something that spent years raising the girls in the woods. And she won't let anyone else take care of "her" children. It really annoys me when people insist that "PG-13 horror always sucks!" -- if it's done with atmosphere and skill, it doesn't need an R-rating or a big budget. "Mama" doesn't have a lot of jump scares or grotesque images -- it relies instead on a creeping sense of unease, draped in shadows, fluttering moths, dead leaves and sepia-toned decay. Andres Muschietti has never directed a full-length movie before, but frankly I'm dying to see what he comes up with next. He already has a lot of skill, such as the beautiful scene where we first glimpse Mama in the house -- a single shot of Lily playing with someone, as Victoria and Annabel drift in and out of other rooms. It's a quiet, unmoving shot, but we're left with the growing horror of knowing that SOMETHING unknown is in that room with a little child. And the horror really amps up when we finally DO see Mama. She's a twisted, shadowy creature with scuttling limbs and windblown hair, but she also elicits our pity for her madness and sorrow. She's a classic ghost, and every attack makes perfect sense. It also has some truly excellent acting from, well, EVERYONE. Coster-Waldau is absolutely heartbreaking as a man desperately devoted to his family, and willing to give up everything for his brother's children. Chastain also gives an excellent performance as Annabel, slowly warming up to the children as she slowly becomes aware that something supernatural is creeping into her new suburban life. The one problem: her transition from "rock chick who doesn't want kids" to "loving aunt" never feels quite natural. And Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse... wow. Both of them are absolutely brilliant, which is all the more impressive because they're so young. They give beautifully nuanced performances, especially since they have to act like feral children for awhile. Wow. Like the director, watch these children. "Mama" is the kind of horror movie that deserves to be a classic -- a dark, twisting story that relies entirely on the most classic kind of ghost there is. Definitely a must-see, even for people who aren't a big fan of horror. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mama [DVD] - Sinister - DVD, Digital Copy - The Visit (DVD) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/3585644-mama-dvd](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/3585644-mama-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
