Maggie quickly makes friends at her school and even finds a nice boyfriend in Andy Corey Fogelmanis. But with little to do around town, the friends like to spend their free time drinking -- and to do that, they need an adult to buy liquor.
They get their wish when Sue Ann Octavia Spencer comes along. Their first night is ruined after the cops are called, so Sue Ann invites the group to party safely in her basement. Then strange things start happening, and Maggie begins to get a bad feeling, urging her friends not to go back. But Sue Ann has a few dark secrets and isn't willing to give up her new "friends" so easily.
This so-so thriller goes hard with the mature content language, blood, drinking, sex but stays rather sedate in the character department, content to keep Spencer's "Ma" at arm's length. It's puzzling that she would be interested in Sue Ann, other than the chance to have fun going crazy. Her character's entire psychology is explained by a simple flashback that's interspersed throughout the story but treated so secretively that it feels like it should have built to more.
And her final snap feels preposterous, a huge leap of logic. She winds up a monster, rather than pitiable. The teens are likable enough, though Silvers also appears in the much better Booksmart ; it's a far smaller role, but it's so much more vivid than what she has here. And, to rub it in, Lewis' character announces in one scene that she's binging a John Hughes marathon on TV, further reminding us that these characters just don't have much inner life.
Overall, Ma isn't terrible, but it feels more like those behind it were enjoying "slumming" in the horror genre, without the kind of dedication it takes to make something truly affecting. Families can talk about how Ma depicts teen drinking. Does the movie glamorize drinking? Are there consequences that are a direct result of drinking?
Why does that matter? How violent is the movie? Does it feel shocking or thrilling? How does media violence impact kids? How is sex depicted? Are teens responsible? Is there trust?
