Interesting, but nothing new

Rating: 6/10 (16 April 2017)

You don't need violence and gore to make a horror movie. And Babadook is a fine example.
Even though the idea itself is nothing new, I found this movie interesting. Mostly because of the actors who did a really amazing job and greatly contributed to the overall impression of a dark and bleak atmosphere, with their frustration and agony very well depicted. It is a psychological horror story, but only mildly frightening.
A few objections are due to the very slow pace of the movie, and due to the fact that some quite important story-related things are left unexplained.
Thus, if you exclusively like shocking, bloody, violent jump horrors, then know that this movie isn't for you.
