CGiii Comment
Two Sentence Horror Stories: Ma features a much-explored horror film trope: mother-daughter relationships. But don't expect a Carrie-esque tale; Ma offers a dynamic rarely seen on screen. "Like many traditional Chinese families, Mona still lives at home with her stern but loving Ma. When she meets cute Erica, their instant chemistry awakens something dormant inside. But Ma is not going to let her daughter go easily," reads the blurb. The film is an iteration of Two Sentence Horror Stories, an anthology series with a digital bent: it's inspired by viral fan fictions of super short spooky stories. "The Two Sentence Horror Stories series is an extension of my love for horror, as a genre that uniquely allows us to explore social issues," Vera Mia, Ma's director, executive producer, and screenwriter, has said. "Ma is a classic story about the mother-daughter bond and forbidden love, but updated with diverse characters and perspectives we don't typically see."
