Review of The Babadook (2014) by Lukechristiansc — 28 Apr 2015
A rumbling sound Ba-ba DOOK! DOOK! DOOK! That’s when you know he’s around, You’ll see him when you look. Don’t be afraid of The Babadook!
One of my favorite quotes from the film “The Babadook.” A typical horror fan will see the same horror film with jump scares,cliche’d stories. Examples: (‘Ouija’ Annable, Woman in black 2: Angel of Death), their disposable horror films and are the exact same thing; when you watch ‘The Bababook’ you experience a different horror story and writer-director Jennifer Kent creates the elements very unexpectedly and ‘subtle’ moments. Kent is off to a great career as a filmmaker as her debut is one of the best horror films i’ve seen in years since “The Exorcist”. Essie Davis acting is horrific and a well acted portrayal of a mother dealing with a child with behavioral issues, also dealing with a monster.
