# 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.
