Review of The Babadook (2014) by Leokearse — 01 May 2016
This is a weak, unpleasant film. It starts well, there are a few jolts and the film looks like it's going in an interesting direction, but then spoils it all with tricksy music video editing and showing too much of the monster, which throws the the suspense and suspension of disbelief.
It trades in atmosphere and shocks for meanness and cruelty, then meanders around and ends about 5 times. By the time it did end we'd been bored for a while.
