    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.

    Another let down

    by

    A movie that looked to be be a real horror classic ends up with a chick flick ending. A few creepy moments mixed in with some 'make me jump' moments and an ending that left my girlfriend crying because she thought the end was sad! This movie had the potential to be a great horror flick but instead ends up disappointing. If it weren't for the ending I could have lived with the rest of the movie but the ending was just incredibly ridiculous. How do you justify a ghost that kills three people with no problem but can't seem to kill off Annabelle and the Uncle? The premise was great but it seemed like the direction got lost. I don't recommend this movie. Man, what a let down.

    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.

    Not a Horror Movie!

    by wgowie

    After seeing this movie, it wasn't exactly what I expected, but pretty darn close. Story line was pretty corny, cute and weird at times. The beginning leaves you clueless, unless I missed something. All in all, it's more of a suspense thriller, in my opinion. It's not a complete waste of time, but if I knew all this before-hand, I wouldn't of spent the money to go see it in theaters.

    A Good Horror Premise But Full Of Plot Holes.

    by Alon Patterson

    If you're not a 'stickler' for clear story-telling, and you're a horror fan, this one will likely satisfy you in a mediocre sort of way. While it isn't bad, it also isn't very scary, horrific or frightening. The story is good, sans the fact that many things fail to make good sense. This would be a judgment call best left to the one paying for the ticket.

    Loved it!

    by

    This is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time, and that's saying a lot, because I have almost seen every horror movie that's ever been made. It has a lot of scares in it, Which I love.

    DO YOU LIKE SCARY MOVIES? CHECK OUT MAMA

    by miamimc

    The movie is scary, but in a good way. If you're a fan of Guillermo Del Toro, you won't be disappointed. Please note, Guillermo didn't direct the movie, but the movie has his style of storytelling.
    Check it out, get scared and have fun.

    Good Horror Flick

    by

    I must say I enjoyed Mama. I did not think I would enjoy it be it that most horror movies are such a disappointment but I can honestly say it kept me interested and I jumped quite a few times. My daughter did not jump as much as I did but she enjoyed the film too. I also got a kick out of hearing other moviegoers scream out which is a very rare. I would go and see it again.

    Please Mama No...............

    by raleighb

    Very good movie until the ending. Just could've gone a different direction than it did. Ending left alot to be desired. Still, go see and judge for yourself!

    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

    Mama delivers the scary

    by marklvslinda

    This is one of the best scary movies I have seen in years. It is really terrifying to watch and ofeen busy and offers up legitimate heart pounding action. Jessica Chastain has been busy lately and is a great actress. She plays the role as caretaker for the two girls very well. The little girls steal the show as well as the top notch visual effects. I would strongly recommend this movie. Not for children even though PG-13.

    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+.

    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.

    Awesome Movie!

    by

    For once there is a character in a horror film that isn't stupid, go Annabel (Jessica Chastain) !!! The child actors are extremely talented, you believe they are the creepy kids. The music definitely scares you. Many cool startling shots. The film also has a beautiful theme which is a plus. This is a must go if you love horror, especially psychological horror.
