Saw this today with my 10 year old daughter. She reacted to it in the way she might react to an especially creepy episode of Goosebumps. It's a well made film with good performances, but hardly anything approaching "scary". If you've seen the original 3 minute short this is based on(which is recreated in the film less effectively) you've basically seen the most frightening aspect of "Mama". All in all, a decent ghost story, but I expected much more due to all the hype surrounding the film.
 
I watched the short film it's based on just now. Probably won't see the movie unless it's on tv or something.

Here's the short film if anyone's interested in watching it. It's only about three minutes long.

The trailers looked descent enough, I'm a little surprised so many ppl are saying its bad. At the very least, it looked creepy, not scary necessarily. The 3 min clip of that other version was pretty lame.
 
I've heard only positive reviews from it.

And I think the 3 minute thing is awesome too. It's low budget man.
 
Saw this and enjoyed it.....to me, its not scary, but found the story of the girls and mama interesting and the movie tried to deliver a satisfying ending....

Major movie spoiler inside. Don't look if you haven't seen movie.
I was very surprised that it ended like it did. Letting the younger daughter die added a realism that I think a lot of movies won't do because of the chance of offending people.

It was ok. Better than the TCM 3D I saw last week, except for the hot girls ***. Story was different but it had a lot of holes in it.
