Mama (2013) DVD/Blu-ray Bonus Features And Release Date

Mama (2013)

On its opening weekend in January, Mama grossed $28.1 million across 2,647 theaters, earning the #1 spot in its debut. Ever since, Mama has received generally positive reviews and the film was called an “effectively spooky ghost story” by Philadelphia Inquirer. I personally haven’t seen it yet, but if the original short captured the attention of Guillermo del Toro, who was the executive producer on the feature film. You just can’t really gone wrong with Mama, if you’re into old school scares over cheap gore.

With that said, Universal Studios has officially announced the DVD/Blu-ray and VOD release date for May 7, 2013. If you plan to purchase the disc format, you can expect all of the following bonus features:
