Movie Review: “Mama”
Published by Clay Cane on Friday, January 18, 2013 at 9:00 am.
Summary: Sisters are left on their own in a cabin in the woods after their psycho father tries to kill them. A ghost looks after the sisters for five years until they are discovered — so much for a search and rescue team! The ghost, known as Mama, is a bit protective over the little darlings and has a past of her own.
Review: Jessica Chastain is the “It” girl in Hollywood with her award-winning performance in Zero Dark Thirty. However, there is a different Chastain in Mama — an up-and-coming actress in a D-rated horror flick who probably had no idea she would become Tinseltown royalty when signing up for this celluloid yawn-fest. Presented by Guillermo del Toro and first-time director Andres Muschietti, Mama is monotonous ridiculousness.
Channeling the atrociousness of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, one can tell Mama will be a dud within the first 15 minutes: a crazed daddy, a lone cabin in the snowy woods, a ghost that flies around like a Disney villain and Jessica Chastain’s Carol Brady meets a Mary J. Blige circa 1994 wig. Plus, a disconnected plot of a jealous ghost who attaches herself to two abandoned children.
The disaster of Mama is not any fault of Jessica Chastain — she is barely promoting the film. One can imagine she hopes the movie will quietly disappear as she snags her well-deserved Oscar. But even in this terrible flick, Miss Jessica is still fun to watch. She bounces around as a rock ‘n roll chick and girlfriend of the uncle who finds the disturbed sisters. The trouble with Mama is due to a humdrum script, roll-your-eyes special effects and zero scares. For first-time director Muschietti, hopefully there is more we can see from him — no one could’ve made Mama a good movie and no one should’ve tried.
Unimaginative and far from scary, don’t believe anyone who tells you Mama is worth your money or time.
Mama is in theaters today.

You are of course entitled to your opinion. I disagree wholeheartedly with you. The movie was enjoyable and frightening. It achieves many things that most by the numbers horror flicks don’t even attempt to pull off because they are dumbed down for today’s less than educated audiences. Even Dont Be afraid of the dark which had it’s issues had some genuinely creepy elements but the overall execution was poor.
There are definitely a whole lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to convey up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you convey up the place crucial factor can be working in trustworthy good faith.
