Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of executive producer Guillermo del Toro and director Andy Muschietti's
Mama, starring Jessica Chastain (
Zero Dark Thirty) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (
Game of Thrones). The well-received horror film arrives on Blu-ray on May 7th.
Mama is the haunting tale of two little girls who vanish without a trace from their suburban
neighborhood the day that their parents were killed. But when the young sisters are found alive years
later in a decrepit cabin, their uncle (Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend, Annabel (Chastain), take them in.
As they try to introduce the children to a normal life, Annabel begins to wonder if the traumatized girls
are the only guests they have welcomed into their home or if someone or something still wants to come
tuck them in at night.
