MAMA - ANDY MUSCHIETTI (2008)

Written and directed by Andy Muschietti, the short horror Mama was turned into a feature film five years later. It is not the best short horror made within the last two decades by any stretch, being fairly light on plot and heavy on trope (taking much of its sensibilities from the excellent but prevalent South Korean horror movies of the time), but the filmmaking (especially lighting and camera-work) is pretty brilliant. Largely shot in one take, it follows two sisters who awake one morning to discover that their mother is back. However, their mother is not a source of comfort for them. Muschietti went on to make the accomplished (Stephen King) It remakes. If you like the short horror film Mama be sure to rate it and share it.
