Chance missed

Rating: 6/10 (1 September 2015)

Mama was a chance to give us a real supernatural thriller but after 20 mins began to become silly.
The main strength of the movie was the use of eerie darkness and "did I just see" moments.Good plot from the start but even that went downhill rapidly. the use of scary moments ,,like a face turning around at the screen with the eyes and mouth all glaring open were just overused and got a bit samey.The ending where Mama jumped off the edge of a cliff was just silly...( again..another facial close up..as if we haven't had enough of them already..) Not bad acting really but easily forgotten. Why do they think we need happy endings in a horror movie??
Overview...started off promising but got dafter as it went along..CGI spoilt it too ..and all the squishy sound effects sounded silly.
