    Not a great one ,, but not as bad as the other reviews describe it to be ..

    So the story is not an original one ,, watched a couple of movies about that that "ghoul" or "djin" that comes to you while you're paralyzed in sleep .. but to be fair ,, there was actually more than a couple of creepy seat jumping moments ... I mean it wasn't all bad ,, even the ending was just a bit improbable if i might say.

    The cast were all good ,, Olga Kurylenko did a good job ,, such a talented beauty ,, I loved her back in 2007 Hitman ,, and to be honest haven't seen her much since ... That Dougie character "Craig Conway" was also really good.

    Overall ,, Not the scariest movie in history ,, but it's not bad at all ... watch it at 2:00 am and you'll know what i mean :D

    TOO DARK

    Not gonna waste my time telling you what the movie is about or who stars in it. You already know because this review is BELOW the plot summary and csat list. Also, I am not trying to build a career as an imdb reviewer.

    This movie is a fun scary movie. Not a blockbuster hit kind, but a good solidly scary movie with all the required elements but performed and directed well enough to enjoy all those elements once again.

    But for one thing, why so dark? They always make them dark now. It's like they don't realize people actually have lightbulbs and light switches on every wall. Afraid of the dark? Then by all means walk down the long dark hall without flipping a single switch She even takes a bath in the dark. Give me a break. I'm too busy trying to see what's in the dark to get scared about what I don't ever end up seeing.

    Other than that, it's fun.

    Not scary but really not an awful movie

    Idk why everyone is rating it so low. Was it the best movie I've ever seen? Definitely not. But it wasn't the worst either. There were plenty of areas that could have been improved but I kinda liked it overall. It's not a "blood and guts" movie and isn't full of terrifying jump scenes but does have a sort of sense of doom hanging over it that no matter what "Mara" will get you eventually. I do think some of the acting at times wasn't believable and I was a bit annoyed at some of the choices they made when putting it together. But for a low budget film it wasn't bad.

    Great Acting By Olga Kurylenko & Boring Storyline

    Rating 4.9/10 First of all, i want to give credit to Olga Kurylenko because have done a good job in this movie as criminal psychologist Kate Fuller, who investigates the murder of a man and is haunted by demon who kills people in their sleep. Unfortunately, the storyline in this movie is too slow and boring. This film can make you fall asleep in the cinema. So Disappointed .

    Mara

    Nothing special for real. It wasn't bad or good movie it's really hard to explain. I believe film directors don't see difference between guilty and forgiveness. There are no horror you won't see anyone being tortured or something. Also the special effects and ending scene was rly hideous.

    • Trivia
      The name "mara" might come from a creature in Scandinavian folklore. When people had nightmares they said that they had been ridden by the mara (the Norwegian word for nightmare is "mareritt") who took the shape of a woman.
