About this movie

Everybody's welcome at Ma's. But good luck getting home safe. Sue Ann (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer) is a lonely woman who keeps to herself in a quiet Ohio town. When a local teenage girl asks Sue Ann to buy some booze for her group of friends, she decides to make some new friends of her own and offers her basement for the kids to party. They just have to follow a few simple house rules: Someone has to stay sober. Don't curse. Never go upstairs. And call her "Ma." As Ma's hospitality curdles into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma's place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.

I watched this movie at home, and was super hyped for the movie. The plot was interesting, they could've gone farther than they did with this. The ending was lack luster. It felt like it wasn't over and that the story should've began there. I loved seeing the new faces for the cast instead of the major actors/actresses. The acting was good, not great, but still good. The plot should've started at the end and worked farther. The movie was more hyped than in the trailer, than in the movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. I watched the trailer and was captivated by the lead star immediately. As a horror fan I knew I had to watch this, but I missed it at the theaters. Unlike some of the posters who are intent on posting spoilers in their reviews I will not do the same. Watch the trailer, rent or buy the movie, and then draw your own conclusions on whether you believe this is a great movie or not. However I believe this was a fantastic movie. I bought this movie and was glad I could add this my GooglePlay digital movie collection. Again, rent or buy it and draw your own conclusions. Do not let the people posting negative comments for the sake of posting negative comments sway you away from checking this movie out. Some people just enjoy being internet trolls.

I am going to give this 4 stars. For some reason the movie seemed a bit predictable. Ms. Spencer acted the part well enough to make you believe that Ma might be out there somewhere. The movie did leave me with several questions which I won’t post here out of fear of exposing the plot for those who have not yet seen the movie.
