    Better than I thought.

    I read the reviews and I went into this movie thinking it was gonna be bad. This movie freaked me the hell out. It was slow at first but the atmosphere put me on the edge then when it started moving faster it just pushed me over; it was over-whelming and I did gasp in quite a few parts. I'm a grown woman and I took my phone with me to the bathroom cause I was scared of the dark. It was a scary movie and good for that genre. I definitely would recommend this movie!

    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.

    OK Is About The Best That I Can Rate It

    01/12/2019 Lots of female screaming. Lots of quick, sharp bangs with the occasional creep-O music/sounds. Not impressed with this movie in any way. Glad it's over. Hope I never watch it again. Bon Appetit

    Not incredible, but I've such much worse. All in all enjoyable.

    Some of the ratings are too hard on this movie in my opinion. Mara was not amazing, but I genuinely enjoyed it! The plot was predicatable, but the acting and atmosphere still made it hold my attention. There were a few cheesey moments that were supposed to be scary, but it was surprisingly visually appealing and had pretty decent makeup for a low budget movie. I would rate it a 6.5, but since that's not an option I'm giving it a 7. I would consider watching it again at some point in the future.

    Average

    This move was completely average - not horrible, not great. The idea behind this movie was interesting, but its execution fell a little flat with me. I just really didn't feel that much tension, plus the ending was predictable.

    • 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.
