Mediocre 'possession' meets "Home Alone"

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2015)

Let me begin by stating that I am Australian, so I was looking forward to watching a much-hyped Australian horror film.
I'll also admit that Essie Davis is an exceptional actress, and presented a flawless performance in this film.
Unfortunately, that's where the positives end...
There is just so much wrong with this film.
How anyone over the age of 14 would find this film scary is beyond me.
Unrealistic dialogue. Inexplicable actions. "Try hard" scare tactics. And quite possibly the WORST and MOST RIDICULOUS 'solution' to cast out the demon.
Honestly, I could write forever about how bad this movie truly is, but I already wasted 93 minutes watching it.
Truth be told, I'm a little worried that the Babadook might get angry...and...I don't know...maybe, make me vomit black stuff? Like we haven't seen that in 4 billion horror films.
That black stuff...that's this movie. Not worth the wear & tear on your mop to clean it up.
