Review of Mama (2013) by Ricardo S — 20 Apr 2014
A disappointing horror film from the mind of Guillermo del Toro concerning two sisters who are left in a cabin in the woods for five years after their father kills their mother and disappears suddenly, and how the girls are discovered five years ago in terrible condition and given to their uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his punk rock loving wife (Jessica Chastain).
Although it has a dose of del Toro creativity, sadly this is a movie that just goes nowhere. This is just a very predictable story that offers no real surprises and just a few "boo!" moments to try to trick you into thinking it is scary.
It has atmosphere, but not enough to make it memorable.
