I didn't know they were thinking about a sequel. I was spoiled about this movie once but I completely forgot it so I can watch it now. |

Not sure but I heard SOMETHING about that a while ago. I guess it was cancelled. This was...pretty bad imo. It wasn't scary and it had only one good character. |

It's garbage compared to Pan's Labyrinth I gave it a 6. It's garbage compared to Pan's Labyrinth but I liked the two kids and it was actually creepy. However, I did not care for Jessica Chastain's character and once Mama was exposed in her CGI glory it ruined the movie for me. But the fairly-tale horror style and the dark and moody atmosphere definitely worked for this movie. 6.5/10 |

You act at being a man, and before you know it, you are one. Richard Madden I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.' Richard Madden | |

The story was kind of predictable, I do enjoy the fact that they gave MAMA plenty of screen time (although they made her more goofy than scary) most films are afraid to let you get a good look at the ghost and/ or monster. Maybe for the exact reason that happened in MAMA she just really wasnt that scary. If I was faced with her in my house I dont know if I would be afraid or feel sorry. I might be more likely to help her out with a double cheeseburger |

I liked this much more than I was expecting. The characters were the main reason. Jessica Chastain's character was an interesting and realistic one. Both of the girls did a great acting job, and I definitely would not mind seeing both of them in another film. The atmosphere was rather nice and effective, and I enjoyed the style of the film. |

This turned out to be quite a nice if somewhat clichéd offering that has some rather decent moments to it. One of the main problems to go on here is the fact that the film makes no sense about what kind of woman the guardian really is. Some of the time, it appears as a regular, plain old ghost haunting the family and attacking them or just playing with the children, but there's other times where the figure is made out to be an otherworldly demon trying to access our world through the spreading-fungus-like holes in the wall that seem to be set-up in order to harvest souls around the house, which comes off nicely in giving us some scares but really has little purpose in explaining the story. As well, the film tends to meander in completely uninteresting scenarios, with the vindictive grandmother trying to get the girls under her custody and not trusting the couple to do so merely for her own good or the sentimentality of slowly winning over the younger, more feral sister with motherhood tactics she'd never prepared for before, which is a plausible intuition from the storyline but really comes off as tired and cliché from the continued usage of the tactic in other movies. Beyond that, the kid-friendly rating is a detriment in keeping all the potential deaths and violence almost always off-camera or shrouded in darkness to really keep us from seeing anything interesting, and the constant materializing of the ghost beyond the unknowing character for a scare gets old the third time it happens. However, there's some good things here, including the rather ominous way it builds up in intensity towards the ghost actually attacking with the games with the children, mistaking it for the girls or simply using the fungus-like holes in the walls to spread the fear, and with it being such a creepy-looking creature in it's own right generates some very chilling sequences in the later half when it's finally on the warpath after the family. These here really save it from the rather pedestrian and lackluster offering it could've been. |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |

I liked this. That said, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was criminally underused and that really disappointed me. Especially since I thought he was going to be the main character |
