Guillermo del Toro presents Mama, a supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their parents were killed. When they are rescued years later and begin a new life, they find that someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night.
This movie contains 43 potentially triggering events.
There are two dogs shown. One is a bloodhound, seen briefly in a search party. The other, a dachshund named Handsome, is featured throughout the film and remains unharmed.
It is implied that the father abandoned his daughters in the woods rather than being killed by ghosts so if the suggestion would still be triggering I’d take that into consideration
In the opening scene, two children are kidnapped and almost killed in a murder-suicide by their father, but they survive. The film has strong themes of child abandonment and trauma throughout (the premise is that a couple adopts the two children after they are abandoned in a cabin for five years). One character suspects another character of child abuse, but is incorrect.
A woman jumps off a cliff holding a baby and later the baby's skeleton is shown. A child dies later being held by the ghost. Neither of these deaths are graphic.
Off-screen, just before the film begins, the father of two girls kills their mother. A little later in the film, he contemplates shooting himself and the two girls in an abandoned house, but is unable to as he is killed by a monster. The killing occurs right in front of one of the girls.
It's also in classic horror movie fashion referred to as an asylum. There should also be a "violent mentally ill person" tag, because here we go again.
Early in the film, a man is shown contemplating suicide and briefly holds a gun to his forehead, but does not follow through. Later, a woman kills herself and her infant child by jumping off a cliff.
I don’t think there’s any actual screeching but car does slide on ice and go over a cliff so the sounds the tires make against the ice might not be nice either
