Despite the fact that before that in their filmography there were almost no main roles, they confidently stood in front of the camera. Not bad girls made friends with the performers of the roles of their guardians.
The film "Mom" is one of the most atmospheric horror films of recent years. The picture has different reviews. However, in order to form your own opinion, the film is worth a look.
