Mama- First let me just say that the best person to go to the theaters with is the kind that gets scared easily. We had just sat down to watch the movie and something moved in the corner of the screen and my friend jumped and threw popcorn all over the place. The rest of the movie was similar to that with them screaming and jumping, while I burst out laughing every time. Thank goodness there were only two other people in the theater.
I personally didn't find the movie to be very scary. The scenes that were supposed to be scary were done in a pretty stereotypical horror movie fashion and kind of gave away the fact that something was supposed to scare you soon instead of just going for it. I don't know if I'm explaining that very well. Anyway...as for everything else in the movie, I really liked it. There were some moments when you just thought,"Yeah, I don't think so" (like the fact that the uncle/boyfriend got out of a coma, left the hospital and went straight to walking around in the forest) but it's a movie so what can you say? The feel of the movie, the monster, the story and the cinematography was all really, really well done. The creepiest part of the movie was the unnatural movements and voice of the "Mama monster". The ending of the movie has a twist which I really liked and it helped to separate it from many other similar horror movies.
