Baba dook dook DOOK!

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2016)

I'm a bit torn with this movie. it's a low budget independent film that makes zero attempt to hide that fact, nothing fancy here just one really creepy movie.
My main beef with it is the first 30 minute set up, ever had to suffer through a birthday party with a million fussy kids screaming in your ears? yep that's all condensed into one kid that takes the spot light throughout the first one third of the movie with a mother who just looks on helplessly...
Now the main event follows as the babadook "makes his presence known" indirectly in the movie, none of the classic jump scares or gore- ific scenes that usual films have. just that creepy undertone that keeps the suspense tight.
If you manage to get through the first one third of the film (yes this is a film, not a movie. big difference!) you'll find something creative and haunting. it lost points for the really bad start that made me lose interest and shelve the DVD for weeks before watching it again.
