MAMA

MAMA - D+

Bland, mundane and rather boring. There was nothing about this film that captivated me. The story, the acting, the directing, the music, everything about this film was painfully average.

The story as well as the characters had difficulty deciding what they were trying to be. Was this a horror film? Was I supposed to be afraid of Mama? Was it a tragedy? Was I supposed to feel sorry for her? The subtle ambiguity of what exactly was going on and why would've worked better if the true intention of the film was for the audience to make up its own mind. Yet when driven hard in a certain direction, with expectation, it comes off as rather insulting.

Too many deaths in this film, at least for what I think the film was going for. Less deaths would have made for a better point.

Found the film too dull to go back for a second look to see what I may have missed. Entertain, it did not.
