   Great start, but rather overblown by the end. The ending was somewhat lame and the music didn't fit at all--it would have worked for Harry Potter or something. Some good practical effects would have been superior to the cgi, although it wasn't awful, and would have really elevated the creepiness of the film. Mama looked too fake to be frightening, especially in the scenes where she was shown at length in more detail. Considering its strong first half, it was pretty disappointing--kind of like Jeepers Creepers actually.
   Also, I'm not sure why everybody keeps mentioning Del Toro, he was just the executive producer. They mainly slapped his name on the credits to help sell the movie. 10 years 10 months ago

   The story itself is a generic ghost story gussied up for the modern market with some jump scares. Jessica Chastain is pretty good and the film features some quite skilful camerawork, but at the same time there's nothing interesting about it - it looks slick and clean and like any number of spooky films. What really ruined it for me was the mawkish fantastical ending and the CGI ghost - it looks like a dementor witch from a Harry Potter film but without the quality. 9 years 4 months ago

   I like this. I think there's a weak section, from about 60% through to 80% of the way through the movie, where it fall into the too-long-drawn-out trap so common to the horror genre. But the ending is interesting, and worth sticking around for.
   
   The opening third/half of the movie is very compelling, so definitely worth watching I think. 3 years 8 months ago
