An amazingly fresh idea

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2013)

Initially I was not too enamored with the plot line but interested enough to give the movie a shot. So many horror movies have promised much and delivered little to the point that I have given up on watching a movie that entertains and surprises me. Whilst Evil Dead served up bloody gore with a reasonable storyline and some really good acting, Mama has finally delivered what all other movies have promised. I'm not one for writing spoilers so rest assured that this review won't have any.
Mama delivers some good shocks, moments where you'll be telling the actors 'not to go in there' plus a very unique and interesting twist that I have not witnessed in any other movie. It is this twist that makes the movie stand out from its peers and has encouraged me to endorse this movie for others to watch and to make their own decision.
This movie takes the ghost movie genre to a different level that once repeated will immediately lose it's appeal, and as such has made it's mark on me.
I hope that you enjoy this feature for the originality it offers.
