If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The scariest, most unpredictable film I've seen in a long time. Fantastic photography, sound and effects, with brilliant acting, especially Jessica Chastain as Annabelle. Fantastic effects during the film's climax. An instant classic and favorite! Another incredible Guillermo del Toro production.

I was scared and pretty okay with the movie until the ending come. The acting was all good, especially the kids, there were not that much stupid horror movie decisions, but all of that fell in the water when the ending came. That animation was so bad it made me laugh, the whole 10 min. scene was so bad it destroyed everything the movie built... 5/10

I'm a horror movie junkie, and I must say that my current favorite is Martyrs, just so you know my taste. (If you haven't seen Martyrs, it is a MUST see, I give it 10/10!) I really enjoyed this movie and went in with medium expectations, and I must say I was not disappointed. It didn't "scare" me, but it definitely has a creepy vibe. It also features one of my ALL-TIME favorite creepy scenes, with one of the little girls scurrying across on all fours (I know it doesn't sound creepy, you really have to see it to appreciate it). If you don't think it's worth watching the whole thing, DEFINITELY search out youtube for that specific scene! The CGI work of "Mama" took me out of it quite a bit, but definitely still worth a watch in my opinion. The pacing is quite good and there were never any moments when I was bored. I watched it with my boyfriend, and we actually ended up watching it lol, which says something!

I am a huge fan of movies like Pan's Labyrinth and had medium-high hopes for Mama so that I bought it without having seen it in the theater first. Totally. Worth It. I loved the classic ghost story twist with a storyline involving a woman who wasn't your typical girlfriend and more interested in rocking out than being a step-mom to 2 feral children. I loved the set design, and felt shivers from my screen.... I LOVED the special effects and that one scene where the little girl is playing "tug a pillow" wow... That really got me. The ending I know has some people annoyed but for me it was satisfying and the only real way that everything that followed could be wrapped up. There could never be a happy ending here, but there could be some kind of closure. My only issue? The wig that Jessica Chastain had to wear. They could have done better by her.
