    I just got back from seeing it. It's just another forgettable movie with the same tone as the Ring. They need to take a page out of 80's horror. If you're going to make a crappy horror movie at least throw some tits in to make it watchable. A little Jessica Chastain nudity would have made this a lot better.

    I liked it. I think however if you go in looking for a horror your going to be disappointed. i thought the mama character was kinda creepy and it had a few jump scares but ultimately its its a gothic fairytale more than a horror id say.

    I consider it a horror fantasy, gothic fairytale is also somewhat fitting. I went in with appropriate expectations for a pg-13 horror flick and ended up really enjoying it. Really good effort from a first time director and I'm really interested to see where he goes from here.

    Of course there is no blood and gore to speak of, but there are some genuinely creepy moments and even a couple scares along the way. I dig the atmosphere and the film does a good job of building up the tension as the story progresses. The movie does falter a bit in it's final act unfortunately and the endings are what linger with people so too bad it didn't have a weak beginning instead. The first and second acts are both very good though in my opinion, even the third not being a total disaster but less would have been more in this case. Mama was much more creepy when we saw less of her.

    The family dynamic was very interesting, usually you have the cliche loving mother and/or father trying to protect their children from the evil force but here we have a person thrust into this situation that does not want to be a mother to these two girls but goes along and makes the best of it. Speaking of cliches this movie does have plenty but they were for the most part effectively used.

    Overall: Good acting, good character development, some very creepy scenes and atmosphere, high 6 or low 7/10 for me. A better ending would have made this the complete package.

    Just wanted to know if this is code for "mama looked Demond from Insidious level bad" or did is it just work better for the atmosphere to see less of her?

    Considering giving this one a watch. A nice creep fest sounds nice I just wanted to know if i'd be let down by bad CGI/practical monsters/spirits.

    It worked better for the atmosphere for sure. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to cgi and I thought it was pretty good quality but in the end the cgi is pretty apparent.

    I liked the flick. It had some great shots (cinematography) and a lot of well done creepy scenes. Unfortunately, it starts to suffer a bit towards the end when we see a little TOO much of "Mama", but aside from that it's a pretty solid flick. Should have a review posted soon

    Saw it. Was just alright to me. I like the dark overtones but not much else.
