Review of The Babadook (2014) by Horcrux2007 — 04 Dec 2014
"The Babadook" is a crazy, scary, metaphor-rich, and beautifully creepy psychological horror-drama. The ambiguities, amazing cinematography, and subtle imagery make the movie so terrifying, rather than the jump-scare fest it could have been.
The house itself is so dark and morbid, which perfectly reflects the somber tone of the film. The acting from both Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman (a very talented young actor) was outstanding and made the tension between mother and son so realistic.
This movie will mostly appeal to the horror buff due to its slow pace, but I give it my highest recommendation.
