Nothing great

Rating: 5/10 (31 October 2014)

I gave this a 5-star rating. It was well done for the budget, and the lead actress is a real talent. However, parts of the story didn't make sense to me, such as the mother's tooth problem. Also, what was with the Babadook being kept in the basement eating worms? That made zero sense to me. I'm not sure why it has all the hype that it got. The best part of the movie was the book. That was very original and well done. I'm not sure why the babadook suddenly fell down at the end and retreated to the basement. Of course, I'm not a fan of possession movies anyway, and had I known there would be something like that in here, I wouldn't have watched it. I'm sure that I'm in the minority on IMDb when I say The Shining also did nothing for me. Anyway, take this review as you will.
