Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe.

Oscar winner Octavia Spencer stars as Sue Ann, a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, a teenager new in town, to buy some booze for her and her friends, and Sue Ann sees the chance to make some unsuspecting, if younger, friends of her own. 

She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.” Ma's basement soon becomes the best place in town for parties.

But as Ma’s hospitality starts to become obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.

Find out who gets out alive when Ma opens in cinemas on July 11.
