cabin in the woods: creates a scary and creepy atmosphere. Binary
oppositions of good and evil: mama is the evil spirit, while the
little girl and their aunty fight for good. Darken places: in the
new house mama appears playing with the children at night. She
hides in the closet in the girls room.The theme in the movie
represents a supernatural being trying to take over two girls
lives. Even though there are no blood or body parts, the film uses
flexibility and unnatural themes to make the movie scary. E.g. the
girls having a horrible past and the youngest girl whispering mama.
