One of the best horror movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2014)

Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman star is Jenifer Kent's exciting directorial debut called "The Babadook".
When I went into the theater to watch this movie, I didn't know what to expect. Audiences and critics have been battling it out on the overall quality so I was excited to join the debate.
However, what I saw in the theater, left my jaw hanging open for the entire 90 minute run time. The main question I had going into this movie, like all horror movies was: "Will it be scary" in the very first shot, my question was answered. It will be scary, but not in a way that we are used to.
Similarly to "The Shining" and "The Exorcist", there are no painfully bad jump scares, that eliminate all tension from the story. This movie was truly frightening and unsettling. The atmosphere is creepy, the dialog is creepy, the sound is creepy. This movie was flat out terrifying. And it is one of the scariest and best horror films I have ever seen.
