    Why do I waste my time with PG-13?

    by

    True horror fans be warned. This movie sucks! This is another Hollywood attempt to cash in on the teen scream. I was so glad when it was over. Much like Cabin in the Woods and The Possession, this movie preys on the corny emotions that Lifetime movies are made of.

    Is this another Grudge like movie?

    by MrsBeeHonest

    I just went to see the movie last night. I was slightly disappointed,I thought it was going to be more drama, more nail biting scariness, but it was not. It had a few jumps here and there, but that was it. It reminds me so much of the Grudge with similarities from the Ring as well. If I had to grade this movie I would rate it as a B- or C+.

    Good not Great

    by Zuri - New York

    I am HUGE fan of Guillermo del Toro movies. This move was good; but, I expected more in terms of plot from del Toro. The cinematography was good, the acting was well done and the directing was great.

    The story - not so much.

    Mama

    by cynthiamarie17

    I wasn't expecting this movie to be a good movie due to the fact it was only PG-13, and most scary movies rated PG-13 are not the best. This movie has defiantly changed my mind. It was a very good movie their is one part I'm confused on which is the beginning I felt that they should have explained the beginning a little bit more.

    Even if you don't like scary movies...

    by adkinskatie

    Okay, so I am NOT a fan of scary movies, especially ones with a lot of blood and gore (which this one did NOT have). My boyfriend really wanted to see this, so we went yesterday and o. m. g. Even if you are not a fan of scary movies, this is a GREAT movie. The kids in the movie did a great job and the story was interesting. Lots of sounds and movements to keep your heart pumping. Like I said, not a fan of scary movies, but I definitely give this one two thumbs up!

    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.

    Mama Delivers

    by

    Horror movies rely on scaring movie goers, yet some leave out the great storyline and acting. Mama delivers what a good horror needs to entertain and keep the audience hooked. Jessica Chastain (Annabel), who plays a woman not wanting children, and Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (Lucas/Jeffrey) are challenged with raising his abandoned nieces, Victoria and Lily. Mama doesn't shy away from letting you see glimpses and full shots of "Mama" flying at you. As the movie unfolds, the sins of the past are unleashed on the unfortunate souls in the present. Ultimately, building to who and what Mama is willing to kill for...

    by riverao3

    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.

    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!

    Well Done!

    by udayc

    This is a good movie with all the requisite chills and thrills that a horror film of this genre should have but it also has a strong emotional story line which really helps to engage you as an audience.
    The visualization of "Mama" is really scary and it really affects you deeply when you see her getting revealed little by little on screen.
    I would recommend having your partner sleep over the night you watch this movie...else your in for a sleepless night...
