A police psychologist has contact with an obscure dark mythology when she is assigned the case of a little girl who saw her father killed.
Mara is a supernatural horror movie about a sleep paralyzing demon. Better made than Slumber (with a similar theme), Mara is not perfect but the demon portrayed by Javier Botet has the expected paralyzing effect and all the right amount of creepy and shocking. The sleep paralysis scenes are well done and almost as effective as the appearance of Mara (the demon). Otherwise, the story is not great, a bit just randomly thrown together and without too many surprises. A bigger budget and a more invested team would have probably fared better.
