Review of The Babadook (2014) by J1Train — 01 Feb 2015
A masterful metaphor for depression and loss, this is more than a horror movie. It's one many won't find "scary" in the conventional sense, though the horror conventions are all there and so well executed.
There are few jumps. The Babadook is more about what's underneath it all. Essentially a two-person cast, both Essie Davis and little Noah Wiseman are perfect. How is this a debut film? Kudos to Jennifer Kent.
