What happens next is worth watching. If I keep writing I’ll end up revealing the things that make Mama “Mama” (hope you get it!)

 Review

I loved this movie from the start. The entire time it kept me on the edge of my seat. The roles played by the young siblings is wonderful. They really look creepy and scary, specially the young one! And Mama is no doubt one of the scariest ghosts I’ve ever seen. Said all that, what I thought cute was the love and care Mama showed for the young girls. Though I loved the movie and “Mama” I would have liked a different ending. The last scene was a bit amateurish. It just didn’t fit with the rest of the movie’s level.

At some points I really jumped and shouted and was just about to leave the theatre, but that’s what we pay for when we’re in for a horror movie. If you like to watch some serious scary movies then you really can’t miss this one.
