MAMA(English) - Review

The trailer was impressive but the movie is also impressive in a different way than the trailer suggested. I cannot cheat my conscience as a horror movie lover by calling this a horror movie. If I was in my right mood for this movie, I would have shed a few tears here and there especially when "Victoria, stay". The whole setup is right for the horror movie but I felt the director did not have the heart to go for it. You know when you watch a horror movie and you tell yourself  "no this should not happen" or "She should leave it alone" etc and in this movie "it would not happen" and "yes she leaves it alone". And most of all what's with the doctor saying that kid is imagining "Mama". They show "Mama" in the beginning itself. That is one suspense they could have revealed later. And why were baby's remains stored on a shelf when the cemetery was moved? No all these loopholes do not make this a bad movie but instead make this a good emotional movie with a supernatural twist and very very few scares. The kids both Victoria and Lily take the cake. Lily looks very unpredictable as required for the role and Victoria very mature and easily portrays the torn between reality and Mama emotions very well. Watch it with a mind set for a super natural emotional saga with few scares, you will love it and might even cry in few scenes.
