    I've seen better..

    by catsattack73

    It was a really good movie, it was creepy.
    It was creepy in a boring way, though.. I almost fell asleep.
    BEWARE: The ending WILL make you cry. Be prepared.

    Creepy!

    by purplebug16

    I loved this movie! My daughter and I love scary movies and to be scared and this one did it! She screamed several times (which is not like her) and I jumped several times (which is not like me). Of course there were things that I would have done differently, but that's why I'm not a producer! Must go if you love scary flicks.

    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

    Unexpectedly very entertaining and great acting!

    by jackieandkelly2

    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. :)

    A mother's love never dies...

    by

    Mama started out very strong as a snow-cold psychological drama, then subtly shifted into an elegant mystery. The cinematography and scoring greatly contributed to the dark aura of the film. Praises granted, the final act was embarrassing: drawn out and cliched. The ending was completely implausible and raised more questions than answers. Despite the finale, the first 80% of the film was masterful; stylish, genuinely emotional and crushingly atmospheric. The main actors turned in fine performances, namely Chastain as the reluctant mother-to-be.
    3.5/5. (If the last 20 minutes of the film were less ridiculous, I would gladly grant Mama a 4.5/5, seriously).
    It is worth seeing? Absolutely, it's damn scary.
    Will you enjoy the ending? I really doubt it.

    Oh, and as a side-note, don't take young kids to see this, please. The lady in front of our group took her poor little 7 year old. Needless to say, the child walked out within the first 20 minutes!

    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.

    *shaking my head in disgust*

    by eheussner

    This movie was so unbelievably dumb, and that was putting it politely. The idea behind the movie would have been great, if it had been executed correctly. This was just a big cheesy mess of a movie. The "ghost" was a joke and what was with the hair floating around on the floor? And the end where the "ghost" kept pushing the ladies head down when she was trying to crawl after them to save the girls?? What is with that? I took my mom to see this movie and I left feeling like I really did a horrible thing to her by taking her. I almost sent her a dozen roses the next day just to try and make up for the 2 hours she will never get back. I have to question anyone's sanity who rated this movie above a "No". I have to go huddle in the corner in the fetal position just for reliving this nightmare now...........

    You'll understand why the movie called MAMA.

    by

    Just saw this movie with my friends, the beginning was touchy & one of my friend cried. The middle part was very thrilled everyone in the auditorium was screaming. The ending part, it was understandable for us. In the beginning, Victoria already knew her real mama (mom) but Lily was just a baby when her mom died.

    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

    DIFFERENT !!!

    by

    The story reminded me of the mexican tale LA LLORONA with a twist with new horror eerie feeling. Very entertaining must see in theatres with an audience to hear the screams and jumps of other people make it even fun to watch! Great children actors which is always amazing to learn how innocent minds can create an imaginary world and "act" effortlessly.

    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!

    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...

    Movie was good. It had scarey moments where the entire audience was chattering at the same time.. Made it funny to see others react at the same time. Ending was unpredictable but boring..

    Hilariously Scary.

    by taylor.anne2

    Seeing how scared everyone got made me laugh and got me more relaxed, but that doesn't mean I didn't jump. It definitely has parts you wouldn't expect and you would never expect the ending. It's crazy and has many twists. I would say go. If you are a horror freak and pick apart every aspect of the movie, you MAY not enjoy it, buuuuut I think it was great.
