Horrifically bad

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2015)

I have never written a review on IMDb and I probably never will again, but I felt a strong desire to bring the rating of this movie down closer to where it should be (1 star).
I cannot understand why anyone would think this movie was "nothing shy of the most terrifying film ever made". REALLY? REALLY????? I LOVE horror - particularly post-1990s, but there was nothing scary about this movie. There was nothing interesting about it.
It was incredibly slow moving. Boring. And explained very little as to what the babadook was or wanted. The ending made absolutely no sense at all, and the kid was weird and annoying.
I actually hated it. It has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen - and that is after seeing movies such as Israeli film "The Slut" (it was on Foxtel and my friend and I had nothing else to do!) and half of "Sharknado" (I turned it off halfway through because it was so bad).
It is such a shame that it was an Australian movie, because I know we can do so much better - The Loved Ones (fantastic!).
I hope you see the light and don't waste an hour and a half of your life on this rubbish.
