I saw the horror flick (presented by Guiermo Del Toro) Mama – starring Not Olivia Wilde (it’s Jessica Chastaine with black hair and always-on eye-shadow… looking nothing like she does in current interviews or in Zero Dark Thirty) and Jamie from Game of Thrones (Nicolaij Costa-Waldau… 100% less incest).

When I got to the theatre, it was Invasion of the Tween Proto-Goths… I’ve been to movies that are 90% female audience, but usually not this specific a demographic).

ANYHOW, Mama is a fairly predictable and rarely scary horror movie with a bunch of cheap, generic jump scares… that would have been 50% better if they hid that it was a ghost movie and then given itself a twist instead of just showing it in the first 5 minutes. Oh well, if only I was a Hollywood screenwriter.

The funny thing about the movie is, that it has an occasional good, fun scare and the ending is surprisingly effective, sad, sweet, scary, and ballsy as hell. It actually redeemed the film in my eyes – going from generic boo to something actually worth seeing.

Score: 80
