Believe me when I say: it's OVERRATED²... too long and boring, the ending was kind dumb and nonsense as well... *I liked the acting of the mom in the "second part" of the movie (near the ending itself)

And the award for most annoying kid goes to???? Samuel from The Babadook! The only scary part of this movie was the amount of boredness that it brought me. Trust me.. It was overwhelming boring and it was so incredibly bad. Honestly i think it might doesn't even deserve a 4!

I think that the mother was trying to save her son from her own self. In my opinion there was no real Babadook, only her deep depression. The book probably was made by her, there is some mention about her being a writer before. Amazing acting.

To say more would give away the plot, but clear hints as to the identity of More

"The Babadook" is about a single mother who is trying to raise her troubled son. Years have passed since the death of her husband and the behavior of her boy is pure Hell. And to make matters worse, he is now convinced of a monster living in their home. The monster is called the Babadook.

[8.8/10] A good horror movie can come in several different guises. There are slasher flicks, horror comedies, ghost stories, and endless variations of the same macabre notions that each deserve to be judged on their own terms. But at base, no matter what else you think of a horror movie, of its goal More

'The Babadook' is a well done horror film, one that is most definitely creepy.

I would've liked more from the monster and how it works, though the film does give you enough and certainly does a fine job at building up the atmosphere of uneasiness that the thing produces. One great part I More
