Review of Mama

Mama (I) (2013)
2/10
Bottom of the Barrel

Make no mistake about it, this film was horrendous. Not even Jessica Chastain or Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau could save this stinker. Though they were good in their roles, (particularly Jessica Chastain) there was nothing they good do to save this stinker. To be honest I can't figure out why they took part in a movie with such a nonsensical script. Then there was the CGI, oh my god it looked terrible, scary? Jesus it was almost laughable, on top of that it relied almost entirely on generic jump scares with that stingy sound that you have seen hundreds of times before, instead of jumping I just cringed. Every time. I would have actually turned it off but I watched it in a friends house so I didn't wanna be rude.

But then I wouldn't have seen the grand finale! I was almost speechless at yet even more completely nonsensical decisions and more dire CGI, and more outrageous things that made me question; are they actually serious? Scary? Stop, it was laughable almost, almost. I couldn't laugh, I was just disgusted.

I'll give it 2/10 instead of 1 for Jessica Chastain, she gave a good performance with what she had to work with. And she had a MIsfits t-shirt.

Overall opinion: Avoid this! Seriously, please do.

Recommendation: Watch The entity (1982) instead if you want a scary ghost story...
