👻 Plot Summary
A decade after the original Mama terrorized with her twisted maternal vigilance, Mama 2 revisits the chilling legend in a new setting. Social worker Annabel Hayes (Blunt) is called to investigate a small town orphanage where children have begun mixing old nursery rhymes with eerie whispers of “Mama.”
When young Lily is the only child to survive a tragic fire, she arrives at the orphanage claiming that Mama is still watching—protective yet possessive. As more orphans fall under Mama’s influence, Annabel is drawn deeper into Lily’s trauma and the enтιтy’s tragic origin: a mother who refused to let go.
What begins as a rescue mission becomes a gripping race between salvation and possession. Annabel must uncover Mama’s hidden story: a mother’s pain intertwined with vengeance—and the question becomes whether Mama can be freed or must be exorcised.
