Plot[]

Charlie Sanders and his girlfriend Lindsay are in their bedroom for a night together when they encounter paranormal activity in their house. Lindsay eventually becomes possessed by the presence in the house and apparently kills Charlie, leaving his three kids abandoned. They are later reported missing, and a reward is announced for their safe return.
Several months later, J'Marcus and D'Andre are in the Humbolt County Woods in search of illegally-grown cannabis plants to steal and discover Charlie's house. Upon entering they discover three strange dingy creatures, which they recognize as Charlie's kids, and they turn them over to the authorities for the reward. The feral children are placed in isolation at a child development research center for a few months until they are deemed well enough to be returned to familial custody with relatives.
When Charlie's brother, Dan Sanders and his wife Jody discover they have been found and arrive to take custody, they are told they can only have them if they agree to stay in a large suburban middle-class home fitted with security cameras. Jody is reluctant to take the kids at first, but she soon adjusts to having them. In an attempt to bond with their new children, Jody auditions for a ballet performance, Swan Lake, and is eventually cast in the lead role as the Swan Queen.
Meanwhile, a continuing pattern of bizarre paranormal activity in their new home makes them realize that something sinister is connected to the kids.. They eventually learn from the children that the attacks on their home are by Mama, the entity that protected the children back in the woods, and who is trying to get them back so she can sacrifice them. Maria, the couple's Hispanic live-in maid, is frightened and keeps experimenting with numerous rituals, both Catholic and otherwise, to ward off the evil spirit in the house.
Meanwhile, Dan is frustrated with the modest progress of his test subjects at a primate intelligence research facility. Ironically, Dan is not bright enough to realize that one of the chimpanzees, Caesar, has been a success. Maria keeps doing more rituals, and Dan hestantly decides to fire her. They start a fight that later continues at the lab, resulting in an accident that results in all the apes escaping.
With the help of Jody's close friend Kendra Wilkinson, Jody and Dan must find a way to lift the curse and save their family. Along the way, they seek the assistance of psychic Blane Fulda, who turns out to be a complete fraud, and a dream extractor named Dom Kolb, who helps them realize the Mama;s scret lies in a mysterious Book of the Dead. However, Jody and Kendra fail to see what the book is capable of, oblivious to four Bible students nearby continuously becoming possessed, going through cycles of wrecking havoc and regaining normalcy in the cabin.
Eventually, Caesar reads the book and deciphers "Mama's" plan to sacrifice the children and tries to warn Dan and Jody. However, they mistake his fight with Mama as a sign he has become dangerous, and Dan decides to send him away. In the confusion he realizes he can talk, but he can't seem to convince one of his ape friends that Dan and his family are in danger. Mama soon takes over the house, trapping Jody in a closet and knocking out Dan. By time they free themselves, Jody realizes where Mama has taken the girls and with Dan goes to rescue them. She pleads with Mama to not killed them and tries to use the book to exorcise Mama, but she loses it. Lily, however, bites Mama to save Jody, knocking her off the cliff and into J'Marcus and Mac De-Andre's pool on their yacht containing a live shark, which then devours her.
Realizing the love for her adopted children is all she needs in life, Jody gives the part of the Swan Queen to Kendra, who performs the dance stripper-stle. The performance ends up heavily applauded by an audience, which includes Jody, Dan, the children, Caesar and Madea.
After the credits, it is revealed Charlie is still alive and having a dream with Dom Kolb supervising him. Lindsay however crashes her car into the room, killing Charlie and blaming it on Kolb.
