Sufficient but pretentious

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2015)

Babadook is praised as the new Horror revelation of the past few years, winning also various awards.
Let aside little technical imperfections the movie appears instead to want in whatever way to keep the distance from the huge horde of B Horror movie cranked out recently, being successful in it in part.
Without any turn of events, never really frightened. A movie that tries to appeal to the tension (of the protagonists), rather then on the pure Horror.
Sufficient movie only thanks to the direction by Jennifer Kent, who manage to give the movie a touch of originality with some interesting framing.
