    Interesting idea, badly implemented

    by dwkellen

    I found the premise to be interesting, but the movie was badly played out. There are a lot of loose ends that don't ever get resolved, and the ending was puzzling. Visually the movie was good, and the acting (especially the little girls) was good, but toward the end the movie gets to be predictable. I don't think they developed the source of the Mama character nearly enough, and I think they didn't use the psychologist character to its potential.

    Guillermo del Toro - Another MAsterpice

    by ildarmukhamedov

    I think that Guillermo del Toro is a genius of making creepy movies... That movie got lots of jump scenes))) I pretty much sure if you like supernatural genre - you should go... Its a "beautiful" supernatural movie!

    Very Surprised, Very Good Movie.

    by mrodone999


    This was a very good movie and worth the admission price. The story itself is a very sad tale when you think about it and the story is very believable. This is not a horrifyingly scary movie but scary none the less and small children should not be allowed to watch it! The acting is very good and the two young actresses do a wonderful job. The directing and effects in the movie are also very good. Also, the characters come off as quite believable. I saw this movie with my wife, although she normally hates any scary flick she really loved this one. She screamed, yelled and squeezed by arm for most of the movie! We sat with about 35-45 others when watched the movie, I had not heard so much yelling, gasping and screaming since the original exorcist movie came out in the seventies. This is much much better that all of the paranormal and grudge type movies that keep coming out. I'd pay to see it again!

    More creepy than scary

    by Mr. Critique'

    Good story line. There are some good scenes that will make you jump. It is not too scary though. The begining is interesting that will keep you guessing. The middle of the movie is kind of predictable. The movie ends with a cliff hanger that could leave an opening for a sequel. Overall it is a good movie in a creepy kind of way that I liked.

    Loved it!!

    by MsWright65

    Creepy movie! I loved the more supernatural aspect of this movie, instead of the blood and gore of most horror movies. I caught myself screaming with the rest of the theater during those surprise moments that make you jump! Loved it! It really makes ya think!

    Scary......

    by

    I think this was a really creepy,scary movie. I jumped in my seat quite a few times. The little girls were good in their acting and "mama" was awful. She was a real nightmare. I say go you will enjoy it if you are a horror movie buff like me.

    Had no point

    by MovieGirl_80

    This movie had its scare moments but it had no point. The plot was horrible. I didn't like the movie at all. I did jump because that freaking mama would just pop out of nowhere.

    I really enjoyed this movie and recommend all to see. Interesting story line, like no other I've seen in the past. Go see it, you wont regret it. Great ending, made me tear up. Ending was unexpected and unpredictable. :)

    Have you seen Mama??

    by

    The movie was alright!! It wasn't like Insidious scary but suspenseful none the less! It takes a lot for me to get scared but definitely a recommendation to see! I jumped a few times & then laughed a few times.. so it's a mixture... I'd give it 3 out of 5 Stars...

    Mama Delivers!

    by chelsea_movie_guy

    A fan of Guillermo's work already, and not disappointed with Mama! Nice to see a movie in this genre that has such high production values, yet still delivers the "gotcha" moments that horror fans crave. Great visual effects (some remniscent of the Ring) and cool story. My friend (a seasoned horror movie junkie) literally jumped out of his seat during one scene. We laughed for a while after that. Nice coup to have Jessica Chastain open your movie, right on the heels of her stellar (possibly Oscar winning?) performance in Zero Dark Thirty. I'm scared of Mama! You will be too!

    MAMA

    by ladyflash0626

    I took my two kids with me and we all enjoyed it. It had all my emotions going. It had it scary moments, sad moment, heart wrenching moments. The actors in it were great. Especially the children. I loved watching the youngest child. She played her part very well. The cinematography was very good also. Me and my son sat calmly...well we jumped a little. My daughter jumped and screamed a few times. But over all the movie was very good. I would love to go and see it again. I will wait till it comes out on DVD. I encourage everyone to go and see it. The movie is rated PG-13 I believe. So pay attention to the rating. Enjoy...

    Mama Mia

    by solidlocks00

    This was a movie that makes the hairs on your neck stand. A chilling tale of a guardian that is out of this world, literally. I have been this freaked out from a movie in a long time. Guillermo Del Toro has done it again, give much suspense and surprise. It is a must see movie for people that love scary movies and is not for people with weak constitutions.

    Awesome

    by tinakabraham

    This movie was a definite shocker because of it's originality. It wasn't some based on a true story movie with minimal excitement. It held your attention from beginning to end with numerous surprising moments. Basically the movie had a plot that was well written. It had drama, romance, suspense and thriller with horror moments. That was a movie I didn't mind seeing with kids yelling in the movie theater because they think it's funny to inturrupt everyone else around them. I would pay to see this movie again. Definite must see. 5 Stars

    Go see Mama!!

    by vharris211

    This was a good ole fashion horror movie. This movie had you jumping right from the beginning to the end. I really enjoyed it. If you like horror movies you really have to see this one! I really did not think I would be scared for this movie because there are not any movies out there that can scare me. But this movie had me jumping quite a few times and surprised even me! Not predictable, the little girls are creepy, go see for yourself!

    Very Scary - Jump in your seat!

    by Memfan

    .Loved the plot, and the scary factor. Very good movie. There were a few things i didn't like at the end, they showed too much of the mama character - it kinda made the whole suspense of who she was fall out. Maybe we have all become so jaded with technology now where we see great animation and yawn. Not sure if they set up the end for a sequel. This movie was well made, had a great plot. Not sure i would go to the theater to see it, definitely see it on the net when available
