Mama (2013) Review

I think I disliked this film more than most. For all the originality, decent actors, and passable dialogue, this film takes far too many missteps to win me over. Mama is marred by the darkness it reveals in the opening sequence. The effects are not first rate and the movie doesn't redeem itself in its finale. The original story starts to feel played out early on in the film. Even if the movie had ended on the note I was hoping for, it would still only be, at most, a 1 and a half to 2 star film.
