MY REVIEW:
So this movie does have SOME redeemable qualities. The concept seemed interesting and the script wasn't too bad.

Basically, there are two little girls who are raise by a ghost int he forrest. The ghost was making up for the children who she lost in life. They're found in the woods and are given to their aunt and uncle. Uncle gets put into a coma and aunt is incredibly unprepared for kids but loves them in like three days. Now they are haunted by the Mama ghost, the ultra-lame CGI ghost. Then the very obvious plot twist.. give Mama her original baby back and then she'll leave them alone. Mama goes but takes one of the girls and punches a hole through the uncle. But then it's all okay and everyone lives happily ever after.

Here's where the movie fell apart for me.. CGI! This was so ridiculously over the top for me that I fully felt that the CG turned this possible horror flick into a mere comedic horror. It's definitely a PG-13 horror, which is really my first
mistake when selecting a horror movie.

The IDEA of the plot seemed to be interesting and new but in the ned it turned out to be pretty predictable. Just another lame ghost story. The main characters are utterly unlikeable and the ending was a joke. Not the greatest.

On a personal note... I finished a baby blanket for my friend Ryan who is having a little girl. She wanted something different so I made a black blanket with pink and blue skulls! AND, I won an award at work, MVP!! (It's kind of like Employee of the Quarter). And I took a little selfie today!!
