Don't believe all the hyped up good reviews, this one missed the mark by a mile!

Rating: 1/10 (8 February 2015)

I can't believe all the positive reviews this movie received! It is not good. Following the same old gimmick of child and parent trying to survive a haunted house, I found myself bored immediately. The only thing still worth waiting for, was the revealing of the Babadook! Too bad he's just a shadow that growls. This movie was terrible. Don't believe the hype. For a while I still held out hope that perhaps there was no monster at all, and maybe the screen writers had a card up their sleeve. A twist perhaps? Maybe the mother is crazy and is imagining the whole thing? Maybe SHE wrote the book about the Babadook? But no... unfortunately I was far too optimistic about this movie.
