Review of The Babadook (2014) by Christopher_G2 — 10 May 2017
The Babadook, directed and written by first-time director Jennifer Kent, is one of the best horror movies of recent years, possibly even of recent decades. In her stunning directorial debut, Kent shows not merely promise as a filmmaker, but the kind of rare talent that seldom comes through this strongly in a debut film.
The two lead performances, a worn-out, distant mother and her difficult son, are also very strong. Creepy, tension filled, and mostly free of basic horror-film clichés, it is something special.
