Not scary

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2013)

The father of two little girls kills their mother, and kidnaps the kids. Five years later, the girls' uncle Lucas (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) finds them abandoned, and the father long dead. He tries to raise them with his girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain). Annabel isn't one who wants kids. Little do they know that the two girls have been raised by Mama.
For a horror movie, there isn't one scary moment to be had. She is just a creepy CG creation. She's interesting looking but nothing too original. We know that Mama would never hurt the kids. That's half of the scary possibilities gone automatically. She really only kills one person and nobody cares about that person. Also we don't actually see the kill. The ending isn't scary either. It does do something interesting, but not compelling enough to recommend this movie. It's a minor fail.
