Tate Taylor’s predatory party-animal thriller Ma breaks ground for Octavia Spencer’s career portfolio, but not the “Obsession Revenge” subgenre. As a character, “Ma” permits Spencer an outlet for normalized casting frustrations that have since been upturned when Blumhouse recognized the menace in her otherwise compassionate and typecasted eyes.

It’s more how, disappointingly, Taylor’s spiked Ya horror punch tastes of price-slashed subplot distilling versus premium neatness fit for Ma’s rockily shaken presence.
