Universal Pictures will release on Jan. 18 the new supernatural thriller Mama from producer Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim) and director Andy Muschietti, and starring Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”) and kid actors Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse.

Mama tells the story of two young sisters (Charpentier, Nélisse) found five years later after disappearing from their suburban neighborhood by their Uncle Lucas (Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend Annabel (Chastain), who fears that a malicious force is haunting the girls.

To get us further pumped for this mother, Del Toro has released the short that inspired the film, along with an introduction.
