Review of The Babadook (2014) by Luis G — 22 Sep 2017
PROS: There aren't a ton of scares in the film, but there are a few. I'll admit I got a couple of chills during the movie. The top-hat wearing Babadook is one of the cooler-looking and more original monsters we've seen in the horror genre.
CONS: The film itself isn't as original as I thought it would be. I'm tired of the "You have to believe me!" trope. And unless I'm missing something, I thought the ending was anti-climatic. Guess I expected more from the film after seeing all the positive critic reviews.
