Mama

Apologies that it has been so long since I have blogged about the movies I've been watching. I have been keeping track though and I watched this one back in July when my best friend and I wanted to watch a scary movie.

We perused Redbox looking for the perfect choice and I believe this one was chosen because we both knew who the actor Jessica Chastain. It's fair to say that I will watch almost any movie that she is in.

I'm trying to find the words to describe my watching experience during this film and am struggling! It was... different. I would not really say this is a "scary movie." It did capture my attention pretty quickly but I was extremely disappointed in the ending.

However, instead of it seeming like a supernatural horror film where there is this creepy "mama" type figure raising the children, it reminded me of the stories I read about feral children. My mind definitely took the movie a different way than the producer/director had planned.

All that being said, I'd skip it. I liked the whole movie until the ending and unfortunately the ending is so awful that I wished I'd not watched the movie all together.
