Octavia Spencer stars in the poke for the Blumhouse - produced horror pic , Ma . Blumhouse was founded by Jason Blum in 2000 , but it did n’t really take off until the studio embraced a scurvy - budget model with 2009’sParanormal Activity . Since then , the company has emerged as a power plant in the world of horror movie theatre , with strike franchises likeInsidiousandThe Purgeto its name . The studio has continued to surmount new box office staff heights in recent years , thanks to motion picture like M. Night Shyamalan’sSplit , Jordan Peele’sGet Out , and David Gordon Green’sHalloween .

TheMatrailer is fairly twisted , all things considered . distinctly , Sue is hide some dark mystery and has far more on her mind than just trying to spice up up her lonely universe . The lagger does a nice Book of Job of hinting at the insanity to come in the motion picture , without inevitably spoil too much or bring out on the dot what Ma ’s deal is anyway . Spencer , meanwhile , seems to be get a blow play the motion picture ’s deranged resister and much breaks the quaternary paries when she says"This is the most fun I ’ve had in a foresightful time"in the preview . The Oscar - succeeder was actually friends with Taylor long before the pair come to Hollywood and the latter ’s admittedhe wanted to cast her inMabecause it ’s such a far yell from anything she ’s worked on before . Based on the preview , the film will live up to his hope of being"f***ing weird and awesome"too .

Fortunately , Maseems pretty different from all of those movies and , thanks to its low - budget , does n’t need to reveal the depository financial institution to become another striking for Blumhouse .
