geanenesilas Movie is about mental illness and coping and trying to do the best for you child..

chense-08388 It's hard to believe there is so many overly positive ratings about this film. It starts off ok and builds the scene, I get that. But then the last 45 minutes of the babadook is terrible with a weak ending. Save yourself some time and watch something else

ryan5021 Horrible movie! This shouldn't even be listed as a horror film!

claytonmingalls The main claim about this movie for a lot of people is that it is "not the usual horror movie" and "doesn't rely on jump scares or cheap tricks." Now for the most part, I guess it doesn't fully, but it still holds its fair share of jump scares. When the film tries to rely on just sheer tension and fear, it fails most of the time. Seriously, I think what kills it for me the most is any time a child is on screen. The child actors are GOD AWFUL. Especially the son. He is the worst. I hate and you will too. Guaranteed. There is certainly some interesting ideas and really cool story elements, but the Babadook overall is predictable, stupid, and not very well thought out.
