After seeing the spine-chilling story “Mama,” nobody will ever look at their mother the same way again.

Director Andres Muschietti has really stepped away from the old, tired cliché of a simple haunted house and brought something original to Hollywood for a change.

The story begins with a distraught father of two children. After certain circumstances, they wind up in a remote cabin, which they thought to be abandoned. The father quickly learns something isn’t right about the cabin, because that is where this floating, contorted, ghoulish figure emerges out of practically nowhere, and takes his two children in as its own.

The brother of the father, named Lucas, happened to be in search of him for quite some time, it turns out. After finally finding some trace of him, he is reconnected with his two nieces. His girlfriend, Annabel, played by Jessica Chastain, isn’t too happy with taking on the role of a mother figure, and neither is that terrifying ghoul.

Following different signs of a specter, Annabel realizes something is odd about the girls, or whatever is around them.

For the first time in a while, there is actually a scary movie in theaters at the moment. Haunted people instead of haunted houses certainly do provide a better atmosphere to the movie along with the theater room. Being a PG-13 movie, it’s pretty spine-shattering.

Ruling the weekend box office in its opening weekend isn’t an easy feat, and neither is raking in millions of dollars.

This movie is sure to be remembered as a milestone in horror and will easily be one of the best horror movies of all time.
