Surprising story.

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2016)

This is a very special ghost story, the main reason for that is because the ghost or whatever you want to call the Babadook is there for a reason.
It's not just a haunted house where someone was killed before or something like that. The entity manifests itself for a reason that becomes clear while watching it. And even when it becomes clear why it's there it still is very mysterious and the real nature of it is unclear. It remains that way even when the film is done. Afterwards you'll be thinking about it and it keeps you hungry for an explanation.
I really like that, this is one of those horror flicks that proves that horror is a very intriguing genre when done right. It has more to offer than just cheap jump scares, scary images or gore. It has depth and a real story.
A must see for everyone, not just the horror fans.
