Mama (2013)

Mama is, unfortunately, a mishmash of bits and pieces from past (better) entries into the horror canon. It's unfortunate, because, the film really touches on some beautiful visual sequences and you can see Del Toro's creative producing hand in some of the more transcendent and experiential sequences (such as the ethereal climax.) The film does have its tense moments and, for the most part, executes them effectively. Still - ultimately, its substance is lacking and the film's plot never becomes engaging beyond a superficial level.
