One of the Best Horrors in a Long Time

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2013)

I could have a chance to look at this movie with a friend of mine yesterday, we are both great fans of fine horror material.
Needless to say, both of us were left almost stunned already at the beginning of the movie - I haven't seen a good horror movie with a such a big budget (or outstandingly effective use of it) for a really long time by now.
Not only the characters are lovable, the main scary element is stunningly beautiful (read: scary and creepy as hell) in design and appearance. I could say it is one of the best designs of all time.
BUT! The movie does not overdrive the horror element, it doesn't grant a typical, unpleasant experience. In fact, it's quite the opposite: it's entertaining and fine to watch.
Mama (2013) also offers emotional slices of various depth which are easy and convenient to embrace due to good filming and character features.
Full throttle, no-brainer for those preferring mystic horror. 9/10, many producers should take this as a good example of what horror is.
