Just Absolutely Terrible - The Tooth Fairy Could Be Scarier Than This!

Rating: 2/10 (25 March 2013)

Now - lets get this straight, even though I am very young (lets say 15-) I have seen more horror movies that I wish to count (I've been watching them since I was 3-4)and I've seen the good ones, the bad ones, and the ugly ones... But this is one of those pictures where the previews are far far scarier than the actual movie. Nothing in the film makes to much sense. There seems to be no logical reason for anything to be happening. It turns out to be a very simple 'ghost' story. The middle part and the ending of the film is what let the whole production down. For about an hour nothing much happens to advance the story...it is an hour of "whoops...I see the 'ghost'...whoops it went away" This central hour of the film goes on too long like that. The end, however, was just....god awful. It was painfully obvious that whoever wrote this movie had no freaking idea how to end it. The result of this? One of the worst endings to a horror movie I have ever seen In my entire life. They exposed said "mama" WAY too much. the CGI made this movie incredibly hard to take seriously. Even the representation of the 'ghost' was disappointing!
I cannot believe how many good reviews 'Mama' has received. When I realised that Del Toro was the producer of this film, I had high hopes as I loved the Orphanage'. I was however, bitterly disappointed in this film which was not even jumpy. The plot did not make any sense i.e. why were the characters wandering around in the middle of the night when there was a ghost so obviously waiting to harm them? Why was the psychologist (or whatever he was) keeping mama a secret from the other characters. Plot aside, the CGI Mama was hilariously funny looking and not scary in the slightest. This one 'horror' had me in stitches!
