MAMA

One of the most talked about movies on my timeline was "MAMA". The story of two girls that somehow survived in the woods for five years with no one to take care of them. Before the movie came  out in theatre's, I was very excited to watch it. I love scary movies and not many movies have been out that have actually been "scary". For example: "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D", one the most dumbest movies I have ever seen. Trailers are great way of showing the public what you're getting yourself into. They reel you in and make you want to spend your money on a worthless movie. So, you should always make sure you research enough on the movie before spending your precious money on it. 

I waited for a couple days after MAMA came out. I wanted some feedback to see if it was worth it. Many of my friends and co-workers told me it was a great movie. The next day I watched with my sister and friend at Potomac Yards in Alexandria. The movie theatre was big and seemed nice , so I was hoping for a good experience. As I walk into the theatre, I was nothing but disappointed. It just boggles my mind when the room has four rows at the top open and four at the bottom. I don't know about everyone else, but I hate sitting in the front and hate being squished next to people. Sitting in the front just hurts my eyes and neck, given you have to be looking up the entire time. Also sitting next to people just honestly bothers me. I don't like to hear people chew, drink, and talk. I didn't pay for that "type" of surround sound. I don't understand why they would squish so many people in to a tiny room and give them limited options. I watched the movie two days after it released, so it wasn't that old. 

Once all the trailers were done playing, the lights went down and it was time to watch the movie. You could tell that everyone was nervous and scared as they were getting themselves "comfy" in their chairs. The movie started out interesting, grabbing everyones attention. The one thing i loved about this movie, is that it kept pulling you in, and when you were in good enough "boom" something pops up and you get so scared. It was like a scary mystery you don't want to solve. The two little girls were amazing actors. They were extremely convincing throughout the whole movie. At some point they frightened me and not just MAMA. The whole story was a good concept. I was surprised to see that the people around me were not talking. Im sure they were so frightened that they had nothing to say. 

Overall the movie was good. It was worth spending my money on. I wouldn't say I'd watch it again at the movies, but I would watch it again if it came out on redbox. Knowing the producer was Guillermo del Toro, it was bound to be a good movie. He's known for his scary movies like: Julia's eyes and The devils backbone. So If you're a fan of him, this is a great movie to watch.
