About Get Home Safe Ma
The official logline for Get Home Safe Ma is extensive and reveals much about the film's plot, ensuring that those interested in watching know what they are getting into. It introduces the main characters and the dynamics of their interactions. It states:
"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 new teenager in town (Diana Silvers, Glass), 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."
The logline also reveals how Ma's basement transforms from a safe retreat into a living nightmare. It explains:
"She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.” But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth."
