    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great start, mediocre finish, kinda worth seeing

    by dannypants

    I can't say that this is the best movie of its kind or anything, but there wee some genuine chills and a del Toro's incredible visual style. Without giving anything away I;'ll just say that the motivation of "mama" made no sense. It was an OK movie that could have been exquisite if the writing were better. But that said, this is worth seeing in the theater (unless your budget or time is in too short supply cos there are better films out there). I was entertained for most of it, just left slightly disappointed. Still glad I saw it.

    Very Original and Creepy

    by dothreban

    As far as horror/thriller movies go everything is now cliche. So it's nice to have a movie come along that is a bit different. THis movie was a refreshing spin on the supernatural. The movie is tragic and has a very unique ending that can leave you feeling both unsettled and hopeful.

    Sad ending =(, but great movie! Go and see it.

    by

    I loved the plot to this whole movie. It was totally worth seeing. Very sad what happened between the sisters toward the end =(, but overall it is a must-see. I also liked the fact that the uncle and his girlfriend became the caretakers/guardians of the girls, especially the woman, because it taught her how to be a caring mother for the girls. I will be buying this one on DVD when its released after the theatre version.

    Mama

    by Ms. Nicolette

    It wasn't as scary as they made it seem, but it was really a good movie. You seemed a little lost at the beginning of the movie and then it takes shape. I was really bummed at the end (won't tell you) but was glad the older one made it. Was a little perplexed how someone could live off of cherry seeds for five years but...I'm not a doctor. Guess I could look it up on google.

    Good Scares

    by jruggy

    This movie was much better than i thought. Being a fan of asian horror, this reminded me of some of the disturbing scenes you would see in movies such as "The Ring" that would keep you on edge. Enjoyed the story as well. Worth seeing.

    by gospel123

    I saw the movie MAMA and I give it an a+ I must say this is the scariest and best put together horror that I have seen in a very very very long time.this is the type of movie that jump out at you when you least expect. The actors and actresses were very good and the plot was amazing.Everyone in the thearter was screaming and it was one spooky film.This movie I could see over and over again but I will wait and buy it on dvd.If you like a good scary movie you must see Mama.Jessica chasten was acting in this movie and she is up for an academy award for best actress in another movie.

    Very surprising ending!!!

    by

    Took my 10, 13 and 14 to it since they begged me after seeing the trailer. They love scary movies. It kept you enthralled! Would recommend to anyone who likes this genre of movies. We all cried a little at the end.
