Review of The Babadook (2014) by Kris_D — 25 Dec 2014
A very well made movie. Not very scary, but creepy indeed and will give you chills down your spine. The actress who plays the mother is excellent and for a child actor, the boy does a pretty good job too.
The film gives enough clues to what it actually is about, yet despite knowing what it is about, you still wonder if it's real or not. Why I wouldn't rate the film extremely high, I do get why the critics praise it.
It's very well written and more intelligent than it appears to be. Those who just wanted to see a horror movie to get scared will think it's overrated, those who 'get it' and think about the metaphors, will appreciate it a lot more.
