Yo mama so ugly she looked out the window and got arrested for mooning.
The idea of people being cut off from the rest of the human world for extended periods has interested me for a while. My favourite case was one where a family in Russia were cut off for 40 years. From what I remember of the article, their introduction to the outside world didn't go well. The two little monkey girls are fun, and are portrayed well.
Yo mama so ugly they filmed "Gorillas in the Mist" in her shower.
The artsy elements of this movie are where it shines brightest, and it's what really stinks of Del Toro, though he was only credited as an executive producer. The combination of moths and cool green lighting throughout make for a very effective atmosphere, and as a classically horrory counter to the shadows that every room seems rife with.
The kids are creepy - though I find that all kids are always creepy - and Mama's design, movements, and the sounds she makes are excellent. Many scenes really are scary, and it's not all cheap jump-scares, either (though there are a fair number of those). I didn't particularly like the rocky girlfriend to begin with, but she grew on me. I think it helps that she looks like Robin from 'How I Met Your Mother' when she was going through her grunge faze. There are also a few sweet moments between her and the kids, which break the horror elements up nicely (though I could have done with more, as the actors work well together doing cutesy crap). Also, is that the guy from 'Game of Thrones'? Yeah.
Yo mamma so ugly even Ripley wont believe it.
Despite all this, the movie follows a fairly well trod path plot-wise, and delivers few surprises - apart from the end, maybe, I guess. Also, I wish they would quit the lame product placement in horrors like this "Richmond, I need the number for Enterprise rent-a-car" is just not on. It makes for good Saturday night viewing, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Yo Mama so ugly, even hello kitty said goodbye.
