Date Night Double Delay

For those of you that don't know, on Friday's I don't post because it is my night to spend with my husband. If I get a chance throughout the day then I will post but it will only be about something small.

Yesterday, meaning Friday, we went to the Cinema as we often do on Date Nights as it is mostly free for us to go. I even offered to go to the Cinema with Adam which is new for me considering I don't like to leave the house much these days. I asked if we could go see a film that I had watched a few weeks ago online. I was watching it online because I thought it had come out a while ago and I was in the mood for a horror film and it said on it 2012. But, I guess in America it had come out in 2012, here however, it didn't appear until this last week or so. I really enjoyed watching it on the small screen and wanted to see it on the big screen.

We went to see Mama. It is a horror film with a twist. The film kind of over laps into a different genre but you don't see it coming. The basic plot is this:

A man kills his wife and kidnaps his 3 yr old and 1 yr old daughter and takes them into the woods to shoot them but before he can do that he is killed. The girls are then left in the woods in this cabin for 5 years (I think it is 5 years) before someone finds them but obviously the emotional and psychological issues they have with being left out there have caused them to stunt their mental development. Their uncle comes to 'claim' them as he has been looking for them all the years they were gone and finds that to cope with being left in the woods for all those years they have made up an imaginary person whom they call Mama. The film shows how the girls reintegrate back into society and how this affects their relationship with 'Mama'.

When I first watched the film it was night time and I was watching it alone but I don't remember it being as jumpy as it actually was in the cinema. At some point I did begin to question how I could have watched the film alone, and at night time, but I did so in the cinema it wasn't as scary to me as it was to some other people *cough* Adam *cough*. 

This might be really weird to say but I think it was one of the most beautiful horror films I have seen in a while just because you don't expect it to end as it does so I am glad we went to see it on the big screen. 

Unfortunately I can't really explain much more of the story because then it will give too much away but the cinema was full which was good as I think that made the experience more fun.

Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman
Oblivion with Tom Cruise
