Argentine film director known for directing the feature films La madre (Mama) and It (2017).

Directed the feature film La madre (Mama). Guillermo del Toro is referenced in reviews as producer associated with La madre. It (2017) is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel and features the character Pennywise.

Reviews of Muschietti's films praise the central concept (Pennywise) and moments of strong direction but criticize repetitive jump scares and overused CGI. La madre (Mama) is noted for weak plotting and clichéd scares but strong performances from the child actresses. Overall a mixed reception: interesting ideas, uneven execution.

For:Fans of horror cinema, Stephen King readers, film critics

 The terror is therefore conceptual rather than visual (and much sooner than cinematic, it must be said): people are afraid to watch the film because they fear suddenly finding themselves as children again, defenseless, with no weapons, facing a nightmare turned flesh.

 And let’s not talk about the CGI! The "monster" is presented right from the opening prologue in all its splendor (am I watching a body horror or a creepy movie?), and it’s completely computer-generated.
