Why did the dad try to shoot Victoria, and what happens to the real mom?
Yesterday I watched the Netflix movie "Mama". After watching again I still don't understand why the dad was in panic at the beginning, and what happens to the girl's mom.
Why did he then try to shoot himself or the daughters? Did I miss something?
Best Answer
If i remember rightly theres a news bulletin playing at the beginning that gives some background into the father's actions Jeffrey Desange but basically he's lost a fortune on the stock market and kills his colleagues and wife. You hear a gun shot before he takes the girls to the car.

What did the dad do in Mama?
Jeff has apparently snapped (possibly from the stress of the stock market fall and the resulting negative impact on his life), killed his colleagues and his wife, and kidnapped his two daughters. During his escape, they crash, find a cabin, and Jeff seems resigned to killing himself.What happened to Lily in the movie Mama?
For Victoria, who had memories of her life before spending 5 years being raised by a ghost in the woods, it's difficult but it works. Lilly, unfortunately, isn't able to come back to humanity and happily sacrifices herself with Mama at the end. Yes, Muschietti and Del Toro kill a little girl at the end of Mama.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
