A Controversial Horror Film Is Blowing Up On Netflix

During this spooky, we’ve seen a number of surprise horror films gain new life on streaming. One that’s gaining a lot of traction on Netflix right now is Ma. The 2019 film directed by Tate Taylor stars Octavia Spencer as the titular character who befriends a group of teenagers by letting them use her basement to party without getting caught.

While the premise is simple enough, the film is not. There are many twists and turns along the way. Spencer is predictably iconic in the lead role but Ma wasn’t particularly well-received. The film only has a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes and some critics have an issue with how it tackles racial themes. Keith Phipps of The Verge thought that the film didn’t address those themes strong enough.
