    Creepy Mama

    by rizalyn

    This is one of the scariest movies I've seen in a long time. It's not just jumpy, but it's truly scary and creepy. The best part is it has a satisfying ending.

    Mama

    by thetingler

    A little confused in the beginning but figured out what was happening within the first 10 minutes. The story line was excellent, it had great moments of suspense and scary parts however it fell off the cliff on its ending. I felt that there could have been a much better ending then what the movie portrayed. Good acting,great filming and cinematography. This movie, I would not recommend for kids.

    Mama

    by Kitty330

    My husband and I took our 14 year-old daughter to see this movie, as our daughter LOVES scary movies. (This movie would probably be too intense for most 14 year-olds.) We all liked the movie very much. The movie was creepy and suspenseful from beginning to end, although in my opinion, the ending left something to be desired. Jessica Chastain was fantastic, and the two little girls' acting was outstanding!

    FIRST NO.1 HORROR OF 2013 - LOVED IT

    by aquatic88

    I never thought this would be more scary. i was shaking when i see Mama! on the screen, her presence makes my heart pumping to death. I like the plot of the story, from the beginning to the end , for me its close to reality in your wildest imagination. Well made Horror film , i must say. first rate. Glad to know, it was No. 1 last week. for the first time beginning of the year, a Horror film went up no.1 . simply means, the movie is worth watching because it was really good scary one movie.

    I liked the movie, but...

    by tshore1

    I liked the movie, it was well done and Mama did keep me on the edge of my set, but the ending disappointed me. I won't say anymore, other then I just didn't like the ending at all.

    Scary, Intense, Good

    by indjeff

    A scary movie that will hold your attention to the very end. Script did bother me though. Although the uncle states he will be out of the hospital the next day, it was at least 3 days before he was out and he snuck out rather than being released as he states. Okay, I'm picky, but you would think the producers, the director, the actors, the post-production, someone would have noticed the flaw before being released to the theatres. Still, you should go.

    Fun

    by tvres

    Moody, well written and acted, good, if somewhat over the top ending, broke some clichés despite a couple of reviewers here. I mean, come on, it's del toro!

    Great Horror Flick

    by ducerockz

    I've seen plenty of poor horror movies... Fortunately this is not one of them! The special effects were on point and had everyone jumping out of there seats on queue.

    A must watch for any Del Toro fan or fan of horror

    by slarson89

    I will admit i was skeptical on how much i would like this film when i walked in the theater.
    Fantastic acting from both the girls. And it has what most horror/suspense films lack and that is a great plot and backstory. Cinematography is wonderful for what i consider pretty low budget. I would recommend for young teens and adults mostly because of the content of the movie there isnt any blood and gore. Overall worth going to watch in the theaters.

    cliché, corny, laughable - terrible movie

    by georgiau

    I was so excited for this movie ever since I saw the trailer. I am a big fan of Guillermo del Toro's work, specially The Orphanage, but Mama did not at all live up to expectations. The beginning started off exciting but as the movie progressed it was cheesy with laughable scares. Literally people in the theater laughed at every "scary" part of the movie. It has every horror movie cliché you can imagine: ghost int he closet, going to the haunted house at night, ect. The ending was completely ridiculous and absolutely comical. Wouldn't even wait to watch this as a rental. Good idea but extremely poorly executed.

    The trend of new (and good) scary movies continues!

    by Angry_Dave_80

    I remember starting to see the trailer for this movie at theaters a few months ago. With each new trailer, the movie kept seeming creepier and creepier. Well, it did not disappoint. I would put this movie in the same category as Insidious and Sinister. Despite some issues with the design of the main antagonist (Mama) and a bittersweet ending, "Mama" will be a film to be remembered.

    Not bad of a movie

    by pramonfigueroa

    MAMA was a ok movie, really did not scare me but I do not scare too easily. I felt like at times there was not plot and the director was running out of ideas. The movie seemed to be at times to be just going no where. I am sure it will do well in the box office because people want to be scared but remember it it just a scary movie nothing else.
