MAMA (2013) Ending Explained 

Mama still has to pay child support. just cause she's a vengeful spirit doesn't mean she gets a pass.

So according to the laws of this universe... If I die, but right before i die, I realize I left the stove on... Does that mean I become a spirit until I find and/or turn the stove off as a spirit?

Nobody's talking about how messed up it is to keep a CHILDS REMAINS IN A BOX

Mama is a heavily decaying reanimated corpse that can travel from place to place via what seems to be a pocket dimension, leaving black sludge covering the entry and exit points. Mama is SCP-106

She protec She attac But most importantly She give cherry snac

her closing the door is probably the smartest decision any horror movie character has ever made... which is to say, its very sad that that's the smartest action. fyi the real hero of the story is victoria, she's been the defacto ambassador between mama and her uncle and his wife.

The finale got me all choked up. Yeah, she lost her baby but that brought her to the kids when they both needed someone to care about. I was honestly expecting her to move on once she got the bones but it shows us that her maternal bond with the girls is now stronger than that with her baby. And the way the ghost, who could easily have killed the woman, just kept pushing her down because she knew her opposition was coming from the same love she had... That really got to me. (also I was reminded of that quote from The Simpsons: 'is this a happy ending or a sad ending?' 'its an ending. lets leave it at that', lol)

Finally a horror movie that wraps things up and doesn't end in unnecessary sequel bait.

Ya'll excited for the sequel: "DADA"??

Mama looks like the painting that terrified Stanley in IT.

Imagine the PTSD Victoria must have... 1) Her father went crazy one day and took her away from her home, and then she WITNESSED a blurry black presence kill him. 2) She then found comfort that blurry black presence and got attached to it while in isolation. Only to realise later that the thing was actually evil. (More like insane but evil in her eyes since she tried to kill Anabelle). 3) The ONE person who has been with her throughout the trauma, and she has looked out for, was her little sister. In the end, she lost her as well. This girl is going to have some serious trust and attachement issues and possibly an avoidant personality with bad social skills.

I don't think that "Mama" was really mentally unstable. Think about that: She was an unmarried woman (at least I think she was unmarried) who gave birth to a kid in 18something. The asylums during that time era didn't have the greatest reputation either (at least in horror movies). Bringing a pregnant woman there just because she brought "shame" over her family isn't a big stretch. They stole her child and I'm pretty sure they didn't treat her nicely either. She wanted to protect herself and her child, committing suicide was the only way out in her situation (I don't believe that it was her orignal plan to jump of that cliff, but she was surrounded by people who chased them. Going back would potentionally get her executed and her child growing up in an orphanage. Which again didn't have a great reputation in that time). Mama didn't kill anyone without a reason: She killed the father just because he tried to kill Victoria. She was in that cabin before he grabbed the gun and watched the situation. She cared for the girls and suddenly a woman who doesn't even like children has to take care for them. She is afraid of losing them (like she lost her child to the nuns) and was on the edge to kill Anabelle. In the end she didn't kill her, even though it would have been easy for her (she even showed Anabelle her backstory). She almost killed Luke, but he looks exactly like the guy who tried to shoot Victoria. Btw: As a spirit she is definitely not fully reasonable and full by her senses, the only reason she still exist is the lost of her child. She has her clear moments though. She killed the aunt because she tried to "steal" the children AGAIN and she was even more in her way than Anabelle. She killed the psychologist because he had his own motivations and didn't try to help her or the girls in any way. I would say that he was actually the "worst" of all: He "tortured" Victoria (in some way. Hypnotising someone against their will isn't nice at least. And I don't think that psychologist aren't the most trustworthy people for Mama) for his book and even disturbed Mama in her cabin. He didn't try to reason with her, he tried to get a picture of her so that his book would be a big sell. Mama was in PAIN when he took all those pictures, at least he stressed her out (killing him was definitly not the nicest way to deal with an unwanted paparazzi, but again: She isn't a fully reasonable human anymore). After all that she didn't see any other way out except to do the same stunt again like in her previous live. She let Victoria go just because she didn't want to die with her and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't take Lily with her if she didn't go with her out of her own personal choice. Some people argue that Lily was just a little kid who shouldn't decide when to die. Live is the first think given to us, it's the one think that we are all responsible for no matter how old we are. Just because we are adults doesn't give us the right to choose over a person when to live or when to die, even if they are a child. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't protect them, but Lily in this case was fully aware what "going with Mama" would mean for her. Mama wasn't evil, but she was extremly dangerous and unpredictable. Not because she was mentally unstable, but because she was a restless spirit. From all antagonist in horror movies like la Ilonora, paranomal activity or the conjuring serie I think that "Mama" was by far the "nicest". She didn't kill everyone on her way and just tried to protect her children (like every mother would do)

I liked that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau played both the father and the uncle.... just like in Game of Thrones Edit: Seriously, you guys still find this funny?

You know, the part where the sisters get separated forever made me cry my eyeballs out.

The ending scene, especially when Lily is laughing and touching Mama's face while they embrace, always broke me everytime. It goes to show how much Lily loves Mama. Lily didnt understand what was going on, other than the fact that she's happy because she is with Mama. But to us, the audience, we know what will happen, and for me that is heart-breaking, no matter how many time I watch this movie...

Big brain coming through: Mama wanted to bring a sibling for her dead child in the afterlife

she closed the closet where mama was hiding FINALLY SOMEONE SMART!

Wait, how did her eye prescription never change over five years?! Mine drastically changed over one year!

Fun fact: Mama’s actor is Javier Botet, and he actually is that tall and slim. He has a disorder called Marfan syndrome which is the cause of his odd appearance. He’s a pretty chill dude and very talented, I’m hoping to see him in more movies

I think what could’ve been a great touch for the ending would’ve been while Mama and Lily are falling, instead of the usual monstrous face, we get Edith’s face instead, signifying that her soul is now at peace.

I actually really enjoy the idea of a supernatural being adopting two girls and trying to care for them But it probably should be a different genre for it to be explored

Mama 2: The Dad

This is the saddest horror movie ending of all time next to oculus

Is it bad that I didn’t cry for the sister being taken, I cried for Mama? I movie’s portrayal of the spirit forced me to feel her pain by showing us her human form and her story. It forced me to think about the spirit for once and all it went through. She just wanted a baby, and she stopped at nothing to get one. It was her downfall yet the reason she eventually moved on. Her smile, along with the sister’s at the end, made me burst into tears. The movie captured the spirit very well.

Not gonna lie to y'all I cried at the end of the movie

She kinda looks like the lady in the painting from the IT movie

And I when I was in the theater watching this I was sad when the ending came. The girl couldn’t grow up to decide for herself whether she wanted to die and become a moth or not

The older girl was able to move on but little baby girl, mama WAS her mama cause that’s all she knew as her mother. So at the end she picked mama😭

So, Lilly went away with Mama, and they both made a cocoon became moths together; Victoria stayed with Annabelle and Lucas. In the end, the three of them hug happy ever after. But I kept thinking of something... How are they going to explain all of this to the authorities???

She actually protected them wow that’s. almost good. Chaotic good

I actually really liked this movie. It was a nice change of pace where technically the monster wasn't a bad guy trying to kill just to kill. She misses her child and in a very bittersweet ending, she does.

The youngest girl looked exactly like my little sister at that time and the ending would always make me cry because I couldn’t not think of my sister :(

This movie is a prime example of the monster being terrifying until it’s fully shown, then it just looks goofy.

this is THAT scary movie for me. it absolutely scares the hell out of me. the way "mama" moves and groans OMG! thank you for reviewing it for me so I don't have to!

I watched this movie when I was about 8 month pregnant 🤰🏾😐 Scared the eff outta me.. Great film 🎞 & one of my FAVS 🙃😱 #Mama

I think mama genuinely cared abt the children which is why she came back and took care of her kids. She wasn’t a all in all bad person but she made sure they ate and kept them safe when she wasn’t physically there..CONGRATS MAMA

She protecc She attacc But most of all...she want her baby bacc

She protec She attac But most importantly She put finger in back

Who is watching this in 2020 and being bored of coronavirus?

Foundflix is one of the very few channels where I don't have to hear too much bs from the host, literally the perfect amount... love your work

“Is she gonna open it?” *closes closet door* “Whew, good choice!” *reverses footage (opening door)* “Oh sheeee-“

The arms in the dream were the most disturbing part... They're too thin and lanky...

Annabel is awarded nobel common sense prize for being smart enough to close the closet which makes her the smartest horror movie girl ( or atleast one of them) and she is better than them all!!!

the POV scene where Mama runs away with her child is so haunting tbh. Very very cool

I watch all the horror stories ending explained cuz I’m too scared to actually watch them but I’m so curious abt what happens

Mama don't attac she protec

no joke i nearly cried when lily and victoria got seperated

The ending has broke my heart alot :( , that turned the movie from scary to sad..very sad..

That ending was lowkey sad af

*This is the most scariest and saddest movie I have ever watched*

One kinda sad metaphor in this movie (that I call "The glasses arc") is the literal and figurative blindness that Victoria was subject to, for years she was blind to MAMA's cruel ways because of her child like innocents, her view of the world being blurred in a way. Only being able to see MAMA's wrong doings when she got her glasses back, therefor no longer needing to follow MAMA blindly. I don't know of this is what the writers where planing on but it's really interesting how something can be so figurative and literal at the same time. Probably just over analyzing this but I'm a loser on the internet with nothing better to do than speculate- (sorry for grammar mistakes😫)

I love this movie! Watched it several times knowing full well what happens! Thanks for the post! I got to relive it over again!😄

Mama took better care of those girls as a spirit, than so many living mothers do for their own children. Ijs

I wonder how they're going to explain the missing child to social services

Mama's ability to travel through those dark portals and walk through walls (in some way) along with her look. It kind of reminds me of SCP 106

I read a comment suggesting that Lily was dead the entire movie. At the beginning of the movie she was attacked by raccoons , became ill, and died as a result of those injuries. Some examples pointed out was the fact that she always had bruises, cuts, that never healed. She took satisfaction in Annabelle blowing warm air on her hands because her body was always cold. During their interview with the doctor, on the video tape, lily was in the corner , eyes white and in an animalistic position. Maybe that is the reason the ghost allowed Victoria to stay, she felt she belong with the human world.

If you think about it, NOBODY gets a happy ending except Mama and Lily. What happens when the authorities find the aunt dead in the cabin and Lily GONE? Not to mention, the doctor was killed and up to that point there were no suspects. And Annabelle has his stolen files in her home. Soooo, most likely Annabelle and Luke wound up in jail and Victoria wound up in a foster home or institutionalized.

Mama 2 : Annabelle

You make it so much easier to watch bro I love you

Alright, I'm officially addicted to this channel! I've been binging fro 2 days now lol

I'm some years late but I just realized that this is the movie that was among others being mocked in scary movie 5 😂😂

To be honest I fell like mama is good because... 1. She could have killed Lucas and Annabel but she did not 2. She let Victoria go 3. She loved her baby and all she wanted was to be with it 4. She protected Lily and Victoria and saved them from being killed by there dad. 5. She wanted so much to be with a Child that loved her forever she could not move on with out it. 6.she really did love Victoria and Lily.

I watched this movie in theaters and it scared the hell outta me for years. I'm now warily clicking on this video...

The reason why I liked the movie so much is that the spirit isn't evil and that the ending, while pretty dark at first glance, is a happy one. It's pretty different from more generic horror movies.

I cried because of how sweet she was at the end, and how motherly she was and how sad it was when she didn’t die with her baby... it got to me.

That monster thing looks exactly like that crazy painting girl from it

They made that mama short that shit terrified me like back in the day, SUPER welldone, its cool to see they got to do IT

The first time I saw this, i bawled my eyes out. Watching this, i’m bawling my eyes out

Foundflix: "ending explained" °explained entire movie°

we watch this movie over and over but we skip the end it makes my daughter cry all the time.

This horror movie was the first horror movie I ever watched around 6-7 years and the ending always made me cry

I’ve been binge watching ur videos all night, and now I have to go to my zoom meeting😭

Plot of Mama: I want my baby back, baby back, baby back I want my baby back, baby back, baby back.

All Mama wanted was a daughter 💔

So Mama was basically a demigorgon traveling through walls. Lol

I watch this because i know i wont conjure up enough courage to watch the actual film

"Return the babe, or suffer the cuuuuuurse"

Take a shot every time he says mama😂😂😂

I remember watching this back when it came out on DVD as a 6 year old, scared the heck outta me, couldn't sleep for days

From a psychology standpoint I would also love to do a case study like this Though I could do without the whole ghost woman killing thing

If you watch the beginning, Lilly died. She was attacked by raccoons and her eyes were scratched out. this entire time Lilly was a spirit in limbo. In this essay I will...

That ending was soul shatteringly sad and strangely promising

When I first watched this movie I thought it was amazing, but now that I am a mother to a baby girl it makes me sad because these girls lost both parents I can’t imagine my baby in that situation

hii myself bandyamama i love watching movies and give my reviews on them saw this movie many times great storyline the character of Mama was not like the other negative ghost character as shown in other movies she never hurts both the kids infact loved and cared for them like her own kid. Good story content really loved this movie. in the end instead of horror i just got emotional by seeing the climax great acting done by all the cast especially both the kids and mama

Mama being typed repeatedly at the hospital Me: i swear to baguettes, i will report you to the server and have you banned

M A M A M I A H E R E W E G O A G A I N

I'm a grown ass Texas man and I've been through so much. Never once she's a tear. 😂 The ending of this movie broke my heart and made me cry like a fucking weeping dog. That little girl ❤️💔

And they all lived happily ever after....now let’s get away from the edge of the cliff.

Lily, lily, Yes Mama Eating Cherries? No Mama Telling Lies? No Mama .... that’s all I can think of

Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooo

1:41 "It's Jamie foookin Lannister"

man you doing the recap on mama Gave me nostalgia as i watched it as a Child it was a good movie scared me a lil but it was a magnificent one

Sooooo, La Llorona?

1922 for sure! That one has more in it worth diving into, The Vault explained itself really.

13:33 I jumped up from that shit bro.

Woah, I loved this! Maybe you should do some more horror stuff.

she protecc she attacc but most importantly she wants her kidzz bacc

This was the most scariest, and get emotional movie I have ever watched. I cried so hard when Lilly went onto her “life” with Mama. And then when the butterfly landed on her hand, I CRIED MORE.

The Flashback scene scared the Mama outta me.

That first-person where the POV was Mama freaking made me jump like holy shit they went the whole mile with this movie
