Mama

A horror film with Guillermo del Toro’s name attached is sure to attract positive attention. His Spanish spoken 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth was a work of art. Furthermore, he directed many fine other films (Blade II, Hellboy & Hellboy II). However, Del Toro only acts as producer for Mama: the movie is actually the debut of Andrés Muschietti. It is based on a three minute short film Muschietti made in 2008. Was Del Toro right to attach his name to this production?
