Mama is a terrible horror film which is directed by Andy Muschietti, produced by J. Miles Dale, Bárbara Muschietti and distributed by Universal Pictures. This film is based on Muschietti's Spanish language short film "Mama" and it was released in theaters on January 18, 2013. This film is quit scary, horrible and full of surprise at least for half the scene. This film makes a lot of sense that interest those who enjoy watching horror film.
       The movie is about two little girls named Victoria and Lily who are abandoned by his father in the forest cabin. They are raised for five years by a ghost who is a crazy mental patient previously and she has died. They love her and they feel that a ghost is their Mom. When they are found by their uncle, Lucas and his girlfriend, Annabel, they take that two little girls and adopt them. At first, Victoria and Lily indicate a wild child behavior but after a few days Victoria becomes a normal child while Lily still looks like a trouble mental child.
A ghost called Mama is very creepy. She feels jealous and angry because that two little girls have real parents now. A ghost has felt that two little girls are her children because she has raised them for five years. Mysterious things start happening in the house and everyone feels the presence of a ghost.
       The greatest thing about this film to me is the setting and plots are interested and horrified. It makes a viewer who watches it set thinking what will happen in the next scene and does not want to move from the seat. The film indicates the affection, love and care from the uncle and his girlfriend to the family. The deficiency of this film is no doubt through the ending. I am sure most viewers are very disappointed with the ending that are strange and very confusing. I just put up a flat face after watching this film since its ending is very disappointing. Apart from the above shortcomings, Mama is still a horror film that is entertaining and fun.
      This is a wonderful horror film with a good storyline. The sound design is superb, the cinematography is stunning and the performance of all starring are pretty good, but it does not mean you are going to like this film if you do not like the horror genre. Well, no matter. I recommend this film for all ages especially the horror film’s lover. The powerful message delivered by Mama is a big love, care and affection of family which appears more touching than creepy and scary as should happen.

    1. thanks for your comment Aling.
      I mean, commonly, in horror film, it should be creepy and scary. However, in this film, I found the story is not only creepy and scary at least for the half scene, but also very touching.
