It's sad but accurate. When a child accepts someone as mother even if they are abusive or dangrouse it's unlikely they abandon them on their own choice.
The ending scene, especially when Lily's laughing and touching Mama's face while they embrace during the fall, always broke me everytime. It goes to show how much Lily loves Mama, no matter what she is.
Lily didnt understand what was going on, other than the fact that she's happy because she is with Mama. But to us, the audience, we know what will happen, and for me that is heart-breaking...
Still, I agree with the director that that is the only ending they could think of that fit their vision of the story. Who am I to say otherwise...
Now, I just need to ease this emotional roller coaster from watching the movie...
This situation calls for a Witcher.
Yes
No, this situation calls for the winchesters.
You called?

@@filmcomicsexplained Can you add and explained the world about "The Golden Compass" and the new reboot on HBO new TV series "His Dark Materials"?
Its truly fascinating and to be honest haven't read the book.
@@rogueascendant6611 Thanks for talling about this! The golden compass is my favourite movie of all time
I was sobbing at the end of Mama when lily was calling to Victoria “Victoria come” it was heartbreaking 😓
👽
This is my favorite kind of ending, the one that is driven by the in-universe logic instead of narrative tropes and the concept of Happy endings being a must.
Honestly? I was terrified of the ghost originally then felt so bad for her. Then bawled my eyes out at the bittersweet ending. Del Toro swings a home run with this movie
I mean the cops aren’t just going to accept a ghost took the girl so they’re going to be arrested for murder
@@SladetheBlade.. Unforseen consequences are Sad.
I was watching Shrek and Shrek 2 for the past few months. After watching them so much, I picked up a few things that I totally missed as a kid. There is alot of adult jokes in these movies and you could only pick them up if you pay attention to what they say. Yes what they say sometimes are innocent lines, but they also mean something else.
I was devastated at the ending but it made perfect sense and was all the more tragic when you realise it couldn't have ended any other way
Whenever mama does this very quick sprint or walk while she is twitching that got me scarred.
I remember crying like hell at the end, it was such a twist. Horror movies normally never end like that but god. They did it so well, love this movie
Guillermo del Toro movies tend to have dark endings so I was already expecting it to be bittersweet
The Mama entity is a really interesting movie monster. She's scary as hell, but really she's not evil. Her actions are all based in her desire to protect the girls, even if she's misguided
Its kinda sad tbh
"Misguided" sounds too nice
She’s evil since she kills. but evil people can love.
I convinced my dad to take me to this movie when it was in cinemas by telling him it was a sad drama movie. He just slowly turned his head to me in shock when the first scary scene came up haha
Ahad Luxe no I did Cos I got a hiding after the movie
Jk
That's a bit of a dick move.
I didn't mind the ending, because it wasn't that much of a shock considering how far gone Lily was. And you saw how much she genuinely loved Mama and saw her as just a mother and nothing else. I felt bad for Victoria though, having to lose her little sister.
So you're happy for the confused four year old who died and never got to live a future full of potential, And the reason why she was murdered is because of mamas mentally unstable jealousy(basically, if she can't have them, no one can), but sad for the one who was aware enough to know how good she had it LIVING with two people in a nice house and at this point, has her own bedroom?
I like the ending, different from the happy ever after,
Most actors: How am I their Uncle AND their Father?
Kingslayer: Ok, let's make a movie.
Ha! Nice
Alabama 100!
well he is king geoffrey's father and uncle at the same time so yeah haha
I always felt that the reason she removed her glasses before seeing Mama was not because she didn't want to see her clearly but because Mama would never approve of them and would get jealous that her human family was trying to help her see better. Just my opinion though.
Hmm I never thought about it like that, been years since I've seen this movie
Your right cause in the movie mama comes up to Victoria and breaks her glasses from right off her face, so she took em off to not anger mama
Fair enough
I do believe in the beginning of the movie, the father had ordered his daughter to take off Her glasses so she couldn’t see him kill her clearly.
Mama got him before he could pull the trigger
The parents weren’t “tragically lost. “
The father killed the mother and was planning on killing the little girls

Yeah, that's awful.
It's actually pretty easy to understand why horror movies revolving around children scare us so much; when most of us humans encounter children, our first instinct is to protect and nurture them; if we encounter something that threatens a child's safety, our instinct is to protect them at all costs; if said threat is something that we do not understand, we begin to feel helpless and desperate to protect the child; and when we find ourselves in a situation where the child IS the threat, we become torn between our own survival and the child's.
"Mama, just killed a man..."
"wrapped her arms around his neck*
"Tighten her grip and now he's dead"
Is this the real life or is this just fantasy
IM PICKLE RIIIIIIIICK
Mama: and i took that personally
As if nothing really matters
I admit this was one of the few movies that scared the CRAP OUT OF ME
Her movement is so creepy!!! 😰😬😰
But the ending was different from other horror movies
Brighty I felt the same way that’s why I liked this movie.
Crappy cgi get good
She's played by one of my favorite actors, Javier Botet. You should check him out! He did a lot of practice for her movements, and he truly *is* that tall and lanky.
@@MetalSword95 fun fact: that movement is just the actor himself. He has Marfan's Syndrome and can move his body in many ways that seem unnatural
Brighty good ending it was dark enough but also one kid survived we need more dark endings
Said they didn’t want it to be shot in a mansion, proceeds to show the house being the size of a small mansion
I still remember seeing the last scene and crying over and over
A movie that doesn’t need a sequel.
When you lose your Mom at the mall
Mamaaa!
I liked Mama as an antagonist, because you can empathise with her motivation, and fear her for her powers and implacable nature. Also the creature effects were wonderfully creepy.
Omg I forgot about this movie 😭

Because it wasnt really your favorite movie.
@@Ismoked4451 i was about to say that lol
Love this movie
I dont see how this could be anyone's favorite movie.
This is truly one of the greatest horror movies of all time when it comes to theme. There is a real and bittersweet lesson of vertue for almost all main characters, yet all end up as they should be.
Ah man I remember really liking the concept of this ghost.
I have a good feeling about Antlers being reminded of this movie.
Being produced by Del Toro and considering his passion I think he could've been involved in the making of that movie too.
This movie made me cry. I had sympathy for the entity.
I kind of thought the reason why Victoria took off her glasses when she was Mama was because Mama didn’t let her wear them, cause the scene where she saw her with her glasses she took them off her and broke them 🤔
I loved the movie and loved the ending. It was poetic and logical if you can find logic in a ghost story. The youngest was attached to the Mama and that was a happy ending regarding her story arc. While not an masterpiece this movie was highly underrated...
When I first watched the film, I was left scared and mind blown, and it was the first movie that introduced me to paranormal horror films that came after. And now hearing what information I never knew about it, makes me wish the directors made another film like it, but more terrifying.
Pans Labyrinth, The Orphanage, The Devil's Backbone to name a few
My entomologist father would scorn me for not pointing out that the black butterflies you mention as the sign of Mama are actually moths. The feather-like antennae are the giveaway, along with their resting wing position. They are symbolically significant too. A symbol of determination and/or death fit Mama as a symbol more than a butterfly would.
Another disagreement: I don’t believe those are black butterflies 🦋. I believe that those are moths. Moths are attributed to death 💀 and were associated with vampires or ghosts 👻 in folklore.
Indeed..pretty sure those are Tussock moths..Black Arches
@@Sizzlik Yes! Finally..... let's talk
@@prue5588 ???
@@Sizzlik about the black arches

I can't help but think about the aftermath of the movie whenever it comes up. The aunt is dead and one of the kids is missing again. How are they supposed to explain that without getting arrested or having the other kid taken away? They can't very well say a ghost did it.
The aunt went mental and abducted the children in a fit of rage and jumped off the cliff with the youngest before the couple could save her. All wrapped up!
Del Toro really just made La Llorona without asking anybody for permission 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great movie
This is one of the most underrated movies of the decade. Thanks for making a video about it.
Please make videos about these

Sure! Will add them to the list now, thanks :)

Notif squad. Would enjoy a video on witcher lore. Also i thought this was octavia spencers "Ma"
Sure! Might be good to cover it before the show comes out :)
Fun fact the girl who plays the girlfriend in mama is actually an IT chapter two as one of the adults. The brother and sister Duo director liked her so much that they brought her back for that movie, as well as the young actress asking for her to play the older version of herself.
I love this film. I've seen it a million times. The style the character of mama is delivered in (all 3!) impressed me so much. And the juxtaposition of Lily vs. Victoria as a result of their bonding experiences as young children made this film a real winner for me. And even though Jessica Chastain wasn't well known when she did this film, I had seen her in many things before this so I really loved seeing her play this type of character in contrast to the roles I've seen her in before...she really shows promise as she has a great range. Remember her in "The Help"? Now that's two very different characters that were both equally convincing. Thanks...I enjoyed this video and subscribed as a result!
Those noises she makes in the cabin is terrifying
A video idea: Legion
Yes, it's on the to-do list!
From Dark Fate?
Legion from gamera?
i meant the 2010 film
Hey christian, you've just made a mistake you'll never forget. You could've specify it
"Mama" is basically an Onryo, like the Ju-on (The Grudge) ghost.
Yeah that's what I thought to
Any one else think his voice is calming AF
Whenever I think of ghosts, I think of an entity that is being denied the peace of death and is trapped in eternal suffering. Everyone around them is terrified and shuns them. I want to help them. I want to face the terror they exude in their anger and frustration and show them that I am not afraid, and that I want to help them.
Watching this movie made me sad for the ghost who is suffering eternally even after her death.
Your voice is just so captivating! You have to contact companies to be the voice for e-books or something! 😊
I'm not much of a horror movie fan but the concept of this film was completely unique. For whatever reason I really enjoyed this movie. It's a "must watch!"
She was twisted due to hitting the tree on the way down.
Hey Niyat, Don't know if you'll see this or not but here goes nothing. Your channel has always astonished me, the way that you go in depth, and don't skip even small details is amazing. You sparked my curiosity not only about films and comics, but life in general. You're one of my biggest inspirations, and you made me take the jump to choose my career, Audio designing and composing. I am happy to say that me and my wife have agreed to name our son "Niyat" after you. I wish you the best my friend. :)
you never get horror movies like this anymore
"Hereditary" is amazing.
Saw it in theaters and was the only time an entire packed theater was dead silent.
Amazing film- check it out!
I actually really liked the ending. I thought it made sense for Lily to go with mama. Because that's where she wanted to be, and she was never going to have a normal life if she stayed.. but it was apparent that Victoria could, and that's what she really wanted. So I was happy with the ending, because it seemed like everyone got what they wanted, and everything ultimately worked out for the best
My favorite part was when the children are found and they creepily crawl on to the counter or table
The only horror movie to ever make me cry, I could watch this 1000x's over 🤍
I just don’t understand why mama wasn’t satisfied with her own baby when she was finally reunited? Why kill Lily too? That ending still has me messed up. I cry every single time. But I am a mother of three girls. And of course one of their names is Lilly.
7:35 "It's merely a signal that she was not yet ready for motherhood. It quickly becomes a parent."
This was the only movie to truly creep me out in about 20 years
MAMA was an outstanding movie. Superb acting by the leads and the children. Mama was terrifying but you also begin to sympathize with her and by the end you can completely understand her attachment to the children. But being robbed and harmed as she was when she was alive has caused her to be filled with anger,jealousy and hate. Its a totally underrated horror movie.
The Darkknight some visuals could have been better. But otherwise it was incredible
Another bit of quality viewing 👌🏾 keep it up buddy, love this channel
When I watched Doctor Strange 2, weirdly enough it was kind of like Mama. A mother that was separated from “her” children and wanted them back, so she did whatever horrifying things it took to get them.
Man Lilly had to mess everything up at the end there. If she only had kept quiet Mama could have jumped off the cliff with her real child.
I love this film so much, it’s one of my favourites! As much as I would love a sequel, I feel like a prequel would be much better. We could then get a more in depth story about Mama’s past/ her story, I feel like that would be very good.
I remember seeing this movie randomly on tv one late night and just being left in confusion
Guillermo Del Toro should've been chosen to direct that H.P lovecraft movie in the works. I think he has a particular vision that compliments the material lovecraft wrote. What's your opinion on the lack of decent lovecraftian based media. Except for certain video games like call of cthulu or the sinking city
I think most companies decide not to because H. P. Lovecraft became a raving racist and no one wants to deal with that drama bullshit about how their "sympathetic for a racist" .
@@reggieraccoon6447 It's also possible that it's because his stories are both somehow too simple and yet too insane to be filmable. But you're probably right too
Lovecraft doesn't work that well in popular media, in my opinion. Lovecraft is slow and subtle. Not that suitable for the big screen. Better for more artsy type films, I would say.
@@runswithbears3517 his works only work as books because elder god's can never be seen
@@reggieraccoon6447 He was a xenophobe. There's a difference. You should read his opinions about the Welsh, and about Slavs like me.
i honestly thought this was just another dumb horror movie, but it's actually really good. the concept and idea even works outside of the horror genre
the ending was beautifull made me cry wich is rare for me in a horror film
2:12 this scared the shit out of me until now. I never forgot this movie bc of this scene
The ending was so sad! When lily decided to go with Mama, I mean it made sense cuz as he said it was all she knew and she truly loved mama, she saw her as her actual mother, but man I wanted her to stay with her sister. The butterfly was a nice touch tho! It made it a little easier 🙂🦋
I missed that this was a Del Torro film. No wonder I liked it so much!
Mama would be much scarier if they didn't use CGI
At the time I saw this film, I was pretty immature in the way I perceived movies. I often forget this movie exists, but I recall thinking Mama herself was creepy in all my favorite ways (body horror and fast crawling scares me more than anything in horror movies) but underutilized, and that the plot wasn't all that interesting. Chances are I went into this one expecting a bombardment of visual scares, which I've come to learn, with much help from the Babadook, (another one which initially left me cold for the same reasons) is a bad way to go into a horror movie.
I imagine if I saw Mama now I would feel very differently, and would better appreciate the effort put into it. I certainly feel differently about the Babadook now than I did upon first viewing. (Your video on that one was wonderful, btw.)
Anyway, great the video, man. Made me reflect on how I've matured. Feels good.
I was looking for new Horror Movies to watch and found this (and other Movies i have to watch now thanks to this channel, which got a Sub now). I stopped the Video after the first 20 Seconds and started checking out the Movie. After seeing that Guillermo Del Toro worked on it, i knew this is gonna be a good one.
I was not dissapointed.
Wow your a night owl like me - it's 3am here in Aust lol :p I suppose it makes sense as it's day in the USA though!
I would love a playlist on The Golden Compass and other beloved novels of our childhood that are now movies.
Bro don’t scare with that first bit like I seriously almost had a heart attack
I would love it if you explore
"The Ruins"
You make amazing videos.
For me, this film is tied with The Grudge for being the freakiest horror I’ve ever seen. It evokes a true and growing sense of dread throughout, and the finale was perfectly heartbreaking.
I agree that butterflies have different meanings in different countries. Although, the movie poster shows butterflies, what was mostly shown in some scenes of the movie were actually moths.
I like the scary movie parody of this one too, wonder how they’re gona tell the courts what happened
0:20 that scared the absolute shiit out of me
This movie was amazingly well put together. Kudos to the story telling and acting.
2008 was a bad..bad year..i was out of work for months...and i get it.

I almost forgot about this movie
Not usually into punk or goth chicks but Jessica Chastain rocked it 👍
I loved this movie but it scared the willies out of me so much that even today if I'm in the shower and I think about it, I can't close my eyes because I'm afraid that I'll see Mama standing there when I open them again. No other horror movie has ever done that to me.
If you could please, I've been looking for a detailed breakdown of what the "Entity" is from Dead by Daylight. I can't really find one and you seem like the only person who really can.
Some uterus owners NEVER want children and we should respect that instead of assuming that they'll change their minds later.
This was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. It was of my first horror movies. And the way she moved and how she looked gave me nightmares for week's.
We all know Freddie Mercury can make mama cry.
I love scary movies and I can watch them by myself but mama just terrifies me in so many different ways and I love it but holy crap best scary movie
So much of this movie made no sense before this explanation and it still makes no sense. The version I saw didn’t show why the brother was going to kill his daughters or why they were on the run. I thought maybe the family was being haunted before hand. The dream about the bridge didn’t make any sense. Why was he sent there? What did the mob do with the baby? Why did the creature throw her baby’s bones off the cliff?
