Go into it with the right mindset

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2014)

I was trying to decide whether to watch this movie or Jessabelle, so I got on here and read a few reviews of each film. What really helped me with The Babadook was a review in which someone stated that it was not your typical "make you jump" horror movie. It definitely is not. It was definitely creepy. They did not need to resort to making you flinch to get your attention. This is the type of movie that will get into your head just a tad. It is a bit like The Shining. I like the fact that the actors are not your typical model-esque characters. They are everyday looking people. Australia and the UK are good about that though. It held my attention the entire time. It is very psychological as well as supernatural. All you need to do is go into this film with the right mindset. That can make all the difference.
