Beria saya dengan my laki nak tengok movie seram ni. dapat review dari kawan2 katanya best bangat. last Friday saya pegi menonton dekat Aeon Seremban 2, angkut 2 orang anak buah ikut sekali.
Memula tu rasa macam seramlah tapi bila dah lama tu tak rasa seram pulak, biasalah movie english ni banyak terkejut dari takut...power of sound effect la tu. hantu yang dirasakan agak baik sebab suka jaga budak. budak berdua tu (Victoria dan Lily) telah dijaga oleh hantu 'mama' ni selama 5 tahun di sebuah cabin di tengah hutan.
Cuma ending agak tah hapa2, tak pasti nak kata happy or sad ending. apa2 pun meh layan je sinopsis cerita ni, kalau menarik pegi tengok wayang...tak kalu, tunggu je sampai keluar dalam HBO.
Occurring at the onset of the 2008 financial crisis,
a distraught man called Jeffrey kills his business partners and
estranged wife before taking his children - 3-year old Victoria and
1-year old Lilly - away from home. Driving dangerously fast on a
snow-covered road, the car slides off road and crashes into the woods.
Surviving the crash, Jeffrey takes the children into an abandoned cabin,
where he prepares a fire. Planning to kill his children and commit
suicide, Jeffrey tells Victoria to look out the window and holds a gun
to her head. Just as he is about to pull the trigger a shadowy figure
pulls him away and out of the door, snapping his neck in the process.
Victoria cannot see the figure as her glasses were in the possession of
her deceased and now missing father. The girls survive by the fireside
and are tossed a cherry by the mysterious figure in the night.
Five years later, a rescue party sponsored by Jeffrey's brother Lucas
stumbles upon the car and the abandoned house, finding the children
alive but animal-like in behavior. They are rescued and put in a welfare clinic by the courts under
psychiatric care of Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss agrees to support the
custody claim of Lucas and his girlfriend Annabel against the girls'
maternal great-aunt Jean on condition of having continued access to the
children in a house sponsored by the clinic for case studies. Dreyfuss
is intrigued by the drawings the girls have made of a mysterious
character they call "Mama," whom they talk to and play with. During an
intimate moment between Lucas and Annabel one night, Annabel is startled
by the appearance of a shadowed figure in their bedroom doorway; while
investigating, Lucas is attacked by Mama and falls off the staircase,
losing consciousness and sliding into a comatose state. Annabel, a rock
musician with no relation to the girls, finds herself left alone to care
for them while the visits of Mama continue. Although she makes progress
with Victoria, she finds Lilly hostile. Alarmed by nightmares and a
warning about "Mama's jealousy" by Victoria, she asks Dr. Dreyfuss to
investigate.
Initially believing "Mama" to be a creation of Victoria's mind, her
story of Mama being an aggrieved mother separated from her child is
corroborated by Dreyfuss' research that brings to light the story of
Edith, a mental asylum
inmate in the 19th century. He recovers a box of her dead child's
remains, and has his first encounter with Mama while interviewing
Victoria. During Dr. Dreyfuss' studying of Edith, Annabel has a
nightmare about Mama and her past; she had committed suicide by jumping
off a cliff after stealing her baby from the nuns who had separated them
but on her fall, her child was snagged on a branch and killed on impact
while Mama fell into the water. Annabel realizes Mama has been
searching for the child she never knew what happened to (since the baby
was not in the water with her) and saw Victoria and Lilly as
substitutes. Meanwhile, Lucas returns to consciousness after a
disturbing vision of his dead brother Jeffrey telling him to go to the
cabin in the woods. Annabel and the girls are visited by Jean, who,
alarmed by some bruises on the girls, tries to get Annabel investigated
for abusing them. Victoria's growing closeness with Annabel makes her
less willing to play with Mama, unlike Lilly, who still prefers Mama
over Annabel.
Dr. Dreyfuss visits the cabin to research Mama's presence, and upon
trying to photograph her, is attacked and killed. Finding him missing,
Annabel steals the case files of the girls from his office. She learns
that Edith and Mama are the same person, while Lucas leaves the hospital
to search for the cabin. Shortly after she makes a breakthrough with
Lilly, Annabel and the girls are attacked by a jealous Mama, who subdues
Annabel, possesses the body of Aunt Jean, who had broken into the house
for evidence of abuse, and escapes with the girls. Upon regaining
consciousness, Annabel takes the box bearing the remains of Mama's child
and heads for the woods, where she meets Lucas. The couple spot the
children on a nearby cliff, where Mama (who killed Jean) is preparing to
relive her suicide by taking Victoria and Lilly with her over the
cliff. Annabel offers Mama the remains of her child, and the angry
spirit undergoes a more peaceful transformation, appearing human again.
But when Lilly calls out for her, Mama returns to her terrifying form
and attacks, discarding the remains of her child. After a desperate
struggle, Annabel has just enough strength to hold on to Victoria who
decides to stay with her and Lucas, while Lilly cries that she and her
sister should be with Mama. Mama encases herself and Lilly in a cocoon
and jumps off the cliff, hitting the same branch she did in the 1800s.
Upon impact, she and Lilly turn into a shower of moths. While hugging
Annabel and Lucas, Victoria notices a blue and black moth land on her
hand, which she believes to be Lilly.
