Mama

Cast: Jessica Chastain(Annabel), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau(Lucas), Megan Charpentier(Victoria),Isabelle Nélisse( Lilly),Daniel Kash(Dr.Dreyfuss)
Director: Andrés Muschietti
Genre: Horror

Not a bad watch. Usually most of the horror movies otherwise suck, this one aint bad if not great

Pluses:

• The kids namely, Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse were brilliant. If not for them, the movie would be nothing. You choke many times as you see them crawling, specially the little one. Re defining horror, which makes you realise that in a spooky movie, is not necessarily the super naturals always that can scare but even human beings as sweet as kids can scare you :)
• Otherwise, Jessica Chastain was the lead character among the adults and the saviour of the children. I like her looks :)
• Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Daniel Kash, had their brief standings in the movie, which aint bad. They do well in what they were supposed to do :)
• The script is different and is appreciable. We would have seen many times before horror elements which are motherly but ghostly, but never seen before the innocence within a child which can accept a ghostly figure unabatedly and lovingly as a mother in itself. The maturity level between the two kids with age gap give the exposure to normal humans and culture clearly defines the climax of the movie

Minuses:

Now the supernatural character finally, 'Mama' frightens you until she makes a clear show. And disappointing although, it doesnt scare you at all when visible. Its hide and seek mode was more scary in the first half for that matter.She most of the times later looks more of a 2D image :P The ugliness of the character wasnt very convincing nor feels real, they should have worked more on her

  

My Rating: 2.5/5
