| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert  To the credit of director Andy Muschietti, his co-writing team and a first-rate cast, Mama succeeds in scaring the wits out of us and leaving some lingering, deeply creepy images, despite indulging in many of the aforementioned cliches — and about a half-dozen more. | 15 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Mama follows an unfortunate recent pattern that has emerged in low-budget horror films, especially those with PG-13 ratings. It starts out strongly, using evocative visuals and an unsettling backstory to establish a creepy tableau, but it proves unable to sustain those strengths all the way to the finish line. | 13 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Mama doesn’t live up to their potential, but the film knows how to creep you out. | 13 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs If you're looking for something more interesting or with del Toro's unique stamp on it, this offering will come off as mediocre at best. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer If you're into old-school scares over cheap gore, you'll be able to get over Mama's confusing script and contrived plot devices. | 13 | |
