Does ‘Ma’ Have a Post-Credits Scene?

There’s no unhealthy time of 12 months to launch a horror film, one thing that Universal is banking on by dropping the Octavia Spencer flick “Ma” this weekend in opposition to “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Rocketman.”

There’s lots happening in “Ma,” which tells the story of a gaggle of youngsters deciding to hang around with a center aged veterinarian’s assistant (Spencer) after she buys them alcohol sooner or later. Naturally, after all, issues usually are not fairly as they appear with Ma — this is a horror film in spite of everything — and after some time every part begins to go unsuitable.

Lots of horror motion pictures finish with teases for sequels — I feel again to the unique “Friday the 13th” movie, which famously had the protagonist character attacked by Jason Voorhees on the finish of the film because the credit rolled. That turned out to simply be a dream, however one which got here semi-true within the sequels as Jason took over the villain function from his mom.

Anyway, the query right here is whether or not “Ma” indulges in that horror staple by teasing the character’s return for a future film, maybe in a mid- or post-credits scene. The reply no. Once the credit start rolling on the finish of “Ma,” there aren’t any bonus scenes throughout or after the credit. This movie doesn’t have a post-credits scene. So if you wish to know if the title character is gonna come again for an additional spherical, you’ll simply have to attend for a sequel announcement, ought to the movie carry out effectively sufficient on the field workplace and the creatives contain resolve they need to come again for extra.

So whereas we all the time encourage people to stay round through the credit out of respect for the many individuals who helped deliver the film you simply watched to life, if you have to get out of there for no matter cause you possibly can relaxation assured that you just aren’t lacking any further scenes.

But don’t fear, “Ma” undoubtedly capabilities completely effectively as a standalone film. The proven fact that it doesn’t tease a sequel truly helps in that regard. For now, “Ma” is a one film franchise, and that’s completely okay.
