Ma

Crazy, but terrifying too. This sort of thing could happen; that is what is terrifying. Reminds me of the shoe, Carrie in a way.

Please please please don't watch this film. Utter rubbish, too long and drawn out for absolutely no reason. I hated it, and the worst part is. The film is still on as I write this review!

An interesting concept executed atrociously.

The biggest problem here is tension. There's barely one iota of it. The performances are fine all round, and the story, at least premise-wise had potential. At the end of the day though, there's just nothing convincing about a middle aged portly women posing a lethal "threat" to teenagers or adults. Not the way they handle it anyway. It's like if Carrie was blended with Freddy Kruger or something. It just doesn't resonate. Watchable, but ultimately fairly bad. Probably would've worked better if they'd decended into satirical over the top campy gore. But then you would've needed a far better script for that......

De verdad me sorprendió Octavia Spencer con su actuación, pero esto parecía más una película de Comedia que de Terror. Me gustaron más los chistes que la historia en general, ese final me recordó un poco a Michael Mayers, no sé porque pero siento que hubo un poco de inspiración de él. Bueno, película para pasar el rato pero en verdad parece una parodia de Terror.

all the lines in this movie made me physically cringe, everything felt all over the place, many plot holes, and so many unnecessary things happened that didn’t affect anything and didn’t need to happen. probably one of the worst movies i have ever watched, total waste of time, don’t bother.

Slow burner that would have benefited from a more drawn out third act but it's a Ma-ssacre.

It was fine until the last part so 1:10:00 ish, after that all that build up just felt rushed with the eerie parts going so fast and getting dull and sadly over drama - with that the acting followed in the last bit.

Octavia Spencer's performance aside, Ma is shallow and predictable. I rolled my eyes and sighed when it finished. You could use an hour and a half in a more entertaining way, such as watching paint dry

Octavia Spencer is easily the best thing in this, but she's probably the best thing in every film she appears in. You can tell from early on that at some point Ma will go gleefully nuts and when she does, it's worth the wait. The backstory, told in flashbacks, explains Ma's motivations.
