"MA" (Trailer) Featuring Octavia Spencer
- Thread starter patscorpio
- Start date
this was okay..a little different than what I thought it'd be about based off the trailers. It's kinda like a mix of...
the cable guy and a revenge film
for them bullying/playing tricks on her when she was a kid...so I don't blame her for
on Ben and Mercedes
kinda curious if her daughter really had something or if she was just doing that shyt to maintain control
and did they leave their one friend as the house burnt down? The fake drunk pastor girl? I don't recall them getting her when the parents find them...but if they left hercuz her ass wasn't dead
I believe it was Munchausen Syndrome by proxy.

Yup. Ma making her daughter sick is the only reason why I wasn’t completely rooting for her lol
It was cool. Good date flick or if you have some kind of movie pass. Otherwise, you could wait for it to show up on streaming. Probably 6.5/10 stars. On a side note, there was people in the back making commentary at the screen throughout the movie. Someone else called them out and asked them if they wanted a fade. Luckily there girls calmed them down because I would have been mad because this went down in like the last 10 minutes of the film. LOL
nah bro..hereditary was stupid...this one looked entertaining...with that being said...i will try to catch MA next weekend...this past weekend got away from me

I hated this film. However, it was a nice film to go see with the family.
Also I want to note how I'm glad it seems there has been some interests from a lot of people to see this movie. I'm not saying it's a box office hit but I do know a lot of black people who want to see this movie. And to add on, it's a original horror film that isn't a remake or part 5 to something. Even if I'm not big on the movie itself it would be nice to have more original horror flicks that make it to the big screen.
Some of us here are making up excuses for the film because we like Octavia Spencer. The movie was 5.5/10 territory and that's only because Spencer carried the movie on her back.
-Someone in here used the "they're kids" trope as an excuse to make sense of the kids stupidity. I thought that was being far to kind.
The first night there she pulls a gun out on them. Another night she slams the two girls against the wall for going upstairs. The girls acknowledge that MA stole their jewelry. And then they sneak in her house to find out MA has a child that she locks upstairs, and on top of that in Ma's room she has photos of literally everyone matching with their parents?
"Yeah we know that girl in the wheel chair is locked upstairs. But Hey, let's party!"
I would rather be told to have some suspension of disbelief for the craziness of the film rather than to be told that they're kids or it's horror logic.
-The characters themselves felt as generic, simple, and archetypal as you could get (besides MA). It was basically this: new girl, the guy new girl likes, the girl that is implied to be the whore, comedy relief character (dudes jokes were trash), and a black character. There wasn't enough character development for me as an audience member to feel connected to anyone. For example, the black kid didnt do anything in the movie besides ask for pizza rolls. Like honestly none of us would have cared if those kids died. The only one we most likely feel for is MA's own daughter.
-Speaking of MA's daughter, I don't know if it was made clear, but why was she allowed to be at school that one day? I know for movie purposes it was a hint for what was to come later on in the film. But considering the girl was already in the wheel chair that would have implied that MA would have already been injecting her with stuff and would have her locked away like she does the rest of the movie. This point of mine is further proven when the the new girl recognizes who she is but the other girl has never seen her before and she's just shocked that MA has a daughter. You would think everyone at school would know the sick girl in the wheel chair.
-Juliette Lewis looks like Ted Cruz so I couldn't stand when she got screen time.
-Stu was basically there to get the mom MA's house. But I hated that nikka too.
I can't remember what else I was going to rant on. lol
I did like oh dude's dad even though they tried numerous times to cast him off as an a$$hole lol. I found it weird how he was getting a blow job from oh girl in the most random location ever like they aren't a couple that could do that at one of their houses lol.
Octavia Spencer made the movie enjoyable for what it was worth. I don't follow her acting career that close but I was shocked to see her play a role like this because it seemed so left field from what I know her from. Congrats on her for proving how talented she truly is.
