    MAMA

    by

    There's not a whole lot to say about this movie, although there could have been. The story is very good. I mean, VERY good. Something you typically don't get from many horror flicks. When the movie ended I was actually upset that I didn't get to know more about this family, the girls, what was going to happen, and all sorts of other things concerning the relationships the movie revolves around. I almost want this to be revisited and made longer to cover some of these things. If it is revisited, I ask that they spend a bit more money on Mama herself. While her appearances were brief, or well-timed, and often still startling or scary, when you did get to look at her for prolonged periods of time she became increasingly less scary and just more weird. However, Jessica Chastain is still phenomenal even in lesser films than what she's been doing lately, and the little girls really did a wonderful job as well.

    Scary

    by jmooney

    I loved the movie. Scares, thrills, and chills through the whole movie. Unexpected turns around each corner. Shocking ending. Good for any movie lover of horror and suspense.

    I'm afraid such movies

    by

    I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, may be that's why I didn't like this movie at all.
    The only thing I can praise this movie - it's plot.
    The idea deserves interest

    boo

    by riverao3

    Its a total waste of money!! Theres no real plot to the story because the ending is one of those that leaves you saying are you serious???? You know its dumb when the entire movies revolves around saving the main character and at the end she dies anyway!!smh....

    Great movie

    by

    I thought this would be a joke of a movie but turned out to be the exact opposite. The little girls capture your heart as you trully feel sorry for them in this movie.story stayed very consistent from top to bottom.. If you ever spilt custody with someone the ending is how you feel every time you drop your kids off to them.

    Best scary movie I have seen in a while

    by justinadestiny

    It made you jump and scream. I cried a little and when I left the movie theater I was a little out of breath. The ending was not to my liking, but very unexpected.

    Guillermo is the master of creepy!

    by Pa3cya

    Mama is not so much scary but really creepy and sad. Not your standard horror movie but if you know Guillermo del toro's work you know to expect a well told story that will tug at your emotions.

    Concept was good, not a bad movie

    by candypeach

    I expected it not to be scary because it is rated PG-13. I still have not seen a horror movie that I would say you MUST GO! see. Anywho, some parts of the movie was not needed and it seemed kind of rushed, but then that can be just me

    Wait for Video

    by fins_fur

    The first 3/4 of the movies was creepy and jumpy. The last 1/4 of movie ruined the entire thing. People around me left towards the end. Others were speechless. I am sorry that I even paid full price to see it.

    Good story line but disappointing finish

    by

    I really enjoyed the overall plot and story line but was disappointed in the ending. It's not what you expect to happen, or should I say, that you WANT to happen.

    Keep Clenched

    by

    Horror movies tend to have a consistent formula which makes them predictable even when scary. Mama actually has some very good variations with the film that make it a different kind of film. The use of lighting and sound help to keep the always imminent presence of danger close at hand. The movie had a good storyline and keeps you at the edge of your seat for the most part looking through your fingers. Overtly terrifying? No. A subtle way that keeps your constantly creeped out and on edge? Definitely. This was a horror movie I felt good paying for to see in the theaters. I recommend it to any fan to take a look.

    Old Fashioned Ghost Story

    by addison2153

    This is an old fashioned ghost story. Not much new here. Creepy in places, yes. Actually, I quite liked the ending but won't spoil it for anybody who still wants to see it.

    Scared the life out of me... Until the ending.

    by sam.k

    I thought the movie itself was scary as all get out, and at one point I even kicked the lady's chair in front of me it scared me so bad. The ending gets a little sci-fi, though.
