Almost perfect

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2014)

The Babadook was almost the perfect horror movie. It is well acted, well written, well directed etc. It builds the tension slowly, it builds it well and it never relies on cheap tricks and jump scares. It's perfect... or it would have been if not for the ending. It's not that it was bad, it's just that it was, well, odd. On the positive side, I definitely did not see the ending coming but on the downside, I didn't think it was a very good ending either.
Still a really good movie, still absolutely worth watching and still worth recommending to anyone who loves their horror movies scary instead of silly. And hell, maybe you might actually like the ending!
