Refreshingly creepy

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2014)

It's always refreshing to see the way a new film director jumps into the feature film making and then tries out his own thing to come up with different. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't. But from the movies which I came across even if it doesn't works there is always something new in these first feature film. I saw this movie "Submarine" from Richard Ayode â€“ his first feature film, felt the same newness in every aspect of that film. Same thing I felt in this film.
If you compare "The Babadook" to any main stream horror movie you will find this movie differ from them in many areas. The way this movie is pictured is kind of sad and depressing like overall ambiance of the movie but that really adds to the creepiness of the movie.
The cast did a fabulous job special mention for the Noah Wiseman. He portrayed the child â€“ Samuel in the movie has very good face when it comes to the expression. I hope to see many more film in future from-Writer/Director Jennifer Kent who is definitely in my list of directors to look forward to.
There was talk about the whether "the Babadook" is real ghost or it just the figment of imagination. Whichever way you think, this movie certainly gives a breath of fresh air to horror and psycho- thriller genre.
