Jim and I have dubbed October 'Horror Movie Month,' and we watch a lot of scary stuff. So when we saw the description for 'Mama,' we couldn't resist. Two little girls get left in the woods and survive for five years. You won't believe who's helping them!

The movie is well done, which is not always the case with horror movies. But the girls are actually pretty good little actresses! And the story is solid. A man and his girlfriend end up taking care of his two nieces who were just found abandoned in a cabin. The tikes are understandably freaked out by being pulled out of the only environment they've ever really known, but are in surprisingly good health. Who's been taking care of them?

Enter Mama. The cool part about this movie is that it not only has the horror aspect, but there's also some resolution. The couple works to figure out who Mama is and why she's so attached to the children. And the ending.....well, I won't ruin it. But let's just say, I didn't see it coming. I love that!
