Good idea, but average movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2015)

The Babadook was pretty spooky to start with.
The first half of the movie was amazing, full of creeps, well executed. But the movie became dull, boring, and frankly, a bit stupid as well in the second half. Add to that a dog's death.
The logic in this movie follows that if you tell a monster which you can't get rid of that its trespassing in your house, it will calm down, stop haunting you, and become an invisible pet that eats worms. If the second half had been better, this movie could've easily been one of my favorites.
Overall, it was just above average because of no predictable jump scenes and a well written story. I give it a 6/10.
