Before there was the recent update of It, as directed by Andy Muschiette, there was a short film entitled Mama (2008), followed by the feature version directed by Mr. Muschiette, and Exec Produced by Guillermo Del Toro in 2013.

Somehow this slipped through my awareness.

I've now made amends, and have found it to be very Del Toro, and alternately, mesmerizing, and terrifying.

A bit of a tip of the hat toward The Lady in White, as the spirit we encounter here is loving and protective.

For those of you, who like me, may have missed Mama, grab a copy and enjoy.

Beautiful Blu-ray release. Shot digitally, with a 2k file for DCPs, and some 35mm prints produced for distribution.

A Spanish-Canadian Co-production, filmed in both countries.

You may recognize the young stars of this film, Megan Charpentier, and Isabelle Nelisse, from It.

It comes with a nice selection of extras, inclusive of the original short film.

Please don't confuse this one with Mother.
