Interesting story and good acting. This movie was well done, but it's not at all scary. Like, at all. They made Mama sort of goofy looking, which made me laugh a couple times. The ending is cool.. I'd watch it again, but wouldn't go out of my way to see it. |

basically a horror movie with more kids who see things etc but this time its aliens , its like a thousand other movies everyone seems to be the same story.. the kid see's something acts odd etc. things go bump in the night but nothing really happens. most of it is just silly really. the ending of this movie is awful.

I just finished watching this movie and I must say it is really good. The ending is sad but fits in with the movie and I was not disappointed. There a few jump at you moments that got me good. All in all, this was not a bad movie. I will be recommending to my friends. |

First 'really' scary film of the year!!! |
|
Ok at one time i used to complain that they couldn't make good horror films anymore, at least not scary anyways. Well that seems to be changing now as anyone who watches 'Mama' will see. Even though Guillermo Del Toro is acting as the producer on this I can see that director Andres Muschietti must've collaborated with him alot on this project cause this film has Del Toro's style all over it and that is a good thing.
Scary films don't seem to bother me anymore as i increase in age, however they used to as i, after watching titles such as 'The Exorcist, The Exorcism Of Emily Rose to name a few used to turn all the lights on whereever i was living as my imagination would begin to soar. As previously mentioned, that rarely happens anymore. Not withstanding however, I still know a scary ... |

Mama (2013) Two young girls (Megan Charpentier, Isabelle Nelisse) are found in a remote cabin, apparently living by themselves for the last five years. The two orphaned girls are taken in by their uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend (Jessica Chastain). Mysterious things start happening in the home, and the big question is are the girls causing the problems or did they bring something with them? The first 15 minutes of this film are truly scary, especially when we first meet the two girls after they have spent 5 years in the cabin by themselves, but the rest of the film can’t sustain that level of fright and rarely are there any other true scary moments. Chastian isn’t given much to showcase her talents, as she plays a character who doesn’t want to be in charge of the childr... |

Review: Mama |
|
I had mixed expectations for Mama after watching the first couple of trailers. Part of me thought it looked really, really stupid, while the other part thought it could be kind of cool. Weird opinion, yes. The outcome is a film that is not remotely bad, but flawed and ultimately forgettable. It's a fine, perfectly decent little ghost story, occasionally pretty frightening but lacks the slow build-up of tension it may have needed. The solid performance by Jessica Chastain (who, by the way, looks damn hot with short black hair) keeps you engaged throughout most of the film's duration, providing you with a strong female character whose never unlikable.
Director Andres Muschietti gives the film a terrific visual look and some creative cinematography. There is one sequence in particular in ... |
