Good horror movie for those that don't like gore or horror movies!

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2013)

I tend to avoid horror movies but something about this one made me go see it. It was rated PG-13 and some reviews I had read said there wasn't much gore. There isn't. The horror of it is psychological. There are some instances were Mama jumps out and scares another cast member. I screamed a few times in the movie. The little girl Lily, was a source of laughter throughout the movie in the theatre I saw it in. She was like a little animal since she was only one years old when they were left alone. People seemed to find that funny, although I don't think it was supposed to be. I expected more to come of the hypnotizing and mental issues that Victoria, the older daughter was experiencing. I thought the ending was pretty good although it did not turn out like I had expected. Mama, albeit in a non-human existence, had developed a relationship with Lily that was quite bizarre.
I thought the acting by the little girls was quite good and the figure of Mama was ghastly. They did a great job of acting and looking like wild creatures when they were first found. It was a nice touch to see the transformation of Annabel over the course of the movie.
