Ma (2019)

Ma is a throwback to campy 1980's horror. Filled with teens, alcohol and bad decisions. But this time the killer is played by Octavia Spencer, who was wronged a teenager when the parents of the kids we see here played an awful joke on her. It's as simple as that. As most slasher movies historically operate, this is a revenge fantasy. Spencer is creepy and convincing as Ma. It's a role you'd usually see Kathy Bates play. In fact, this movie in some ways is pretty reminiscent of Misery. It's a fun horror movie to watch in a theater. Turn your brain off and enjoy.
