Total crap, not even A SINGLE scary scene. God even "the room" was better than this. The only good thing about this was its intro.

Despite its flaws, “Umma” is an impressive debut for Shim, the kind of outing that hints at plenty more under the hood or tucked inside a massive suitcase, just bursting with secrets.

In many ways, “Umma” is an interesting and ambitious drama that is willing to take on any number of weighty topics... These ideas are presented in a number of intelligently conceived scenes that are driven by strong performances...
