Mother’s home, just in time for Day Seven of the Flicks and Pieces Halloween countdown, and she’s bringing with her maternal instincts that are slightly out of the ordinary.
Introducing Mamá:
Oozing atmosphere and showcasing parenting skills right up there with those seen in 10 Days of Horror – Day Five’s Suckablood, Mamá was the launching pad for Andrés Muschietti’s directorial career. This was in no small part thanks to a new friend the film afforded him, none other than Pan’s Labyrinth and Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro, who – after the short film scared the bejesus out of him – was inspired to produce the 2013 feature length adaption of the same name. Who better to introduce the short than the man himself?
Watch Mamá:
Andrés Muschietti is back in the director’s chair shortly for adaptations of cult classic video game Shadow of the Colossus and the Stephen King novel It.
