Review of The Babadook (2014) by Meydianarizki21 — 27 Oct 2020
Genuine Terror.
Chilling and Sad.Ignore the One-Stars!
Never written a review before. Haven't felt the need. But after seeing the 1 star reviews of this film,i just felt compelled. Firstly,what this is. I would say a cross between TheGenuine Terror.

Never written a review before. Haven't felt the need. But after seeing the 1 star reviews of this film,i just felt compelled.
Firstly,what this is.
I would say a cross between The Shining and We Need to talk about Kevin. This film is desperately sad. A woman who is haunted,first by her husbands death,then by the Babadook all while looking after her young son. This is a creepy, no jump scare, fantastic psychological horror. A rare gem that plays on all those fairytale fears that you may have had as a kid.
Second.What this isn't?!
Well,not "The worst horror in years".I get that people have different opinions.I do.But this isn't a film that can justify that sort of nonsensical comment. It isn't a dull jump scare-filled blockbuster. The characters are not hot teenagers. They are believable, disturbed and this makes the film the slow,creeping horror that it is.
