Mama is atmospheric, chilling and genuinely interesting... but for only the first 15 minutes. Afterwards, even given del Toro's cinematic vision which draws from Buñuel/Dali's Dadaist phantasmagoria, it seems gimmicky, predictable, even a little irritating (Bless Jessica Chastain for showing she has range in her acting abilities because she's the best thing about Mama). This movie is good enough to see once, but too thin for repeats.
