# Mama - Parental Guide
Guillermo del Toro's "Mama" is a supernatural horror film centered on two young girls haunted by a vengeful ghost. While rated PG-13, it contains strong scares, intense imagery, and violence that will likely frighten most children under 13. The mild language and sexual content are less concerning than the genuinely terrifying supernatural elements throughout.
Synopsis
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.
