if only modern horror was more like this

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2013)

It was so crowded when I went to go see this movie. So many people were laughing and whispering. That wasn't a problem at all. Its just one of those horror movies where something pops up out of nowhere making you scream... and then everyone starts laughing. But it was a well done ghost/monster story that won't make you fall asleep, trust me. In fact I was unhappy because it felt a little short to me. The mama thing is very gritty looking and whenever she would appear everybody in the theater would start freaking out. How much screaming there was made it similar to the paranormal activity commercials. Lots of suspense moments especially when Jessica Chastain's character would walk towards the closet. Its also a very original story and if you are familiar with Guillermo Del Toro then you should see it. Just because the mama is computer generated doesn't also mean it sucks. Mama proves that.
